What will it run?

Choose the appliances you need during an outage or a trip. We check each power station's output and surge rating against your load, then estimate how long it lasts. The starting list is a basic hurricane setup: a fridge, a fan, three LED lights, Wi-Fi and phone charging.

Runtime = capacity × 0.85 ÷ average draw (0.85 covers inverter loss and reserve). Wattages are typical figures from the Champion Power Equipment wattage chart; fridges and AC cycle on and off, so they use an assumed duty cycle. Check your own appliance's label for exact numbers.
