What can a 1,000–1,999 Wh power station run?

Which models are 1,000–1,999 Wh?

Every current model in this range, smallest first. The last two columns are calculated runtimes from a full charge (capacity × 85% ÷ draw): a Wi-Fi router at 20 W and a full-size fridge at 200 W with a 0.33 duty cycle. "—" means the inverter can't start the fridge's compressor.

Which appliances can 1,000–1,999 Wh power stations run?

Every appliance below runs on at least one model this size. The table counts how many models can run each one and the runtime range from a full charge.

What does a typical 1,000–1,999 Wh power station look like?

The median model in this band holds 1,024 Wh and weighs 27.6 lb. The table compares this band with its neighbours, so you can see what stepping up or down a size buys.

Which 1,000–1,999 Wh model leads on each spec?

No single model leads on everything; pick the spec that matters most to you.

6 of 17 models this size accept extra batteries.

How many times over can each 1,000–1,999 Wh model cover common jobs?

Each cell shows how many times a full charge covers the job, so 1.0× or more means it gets through. The fridge job also needs enough surge to start the compressor; see the fridge column in the model table above.

Job sizes from the cited appliance wattages: phones, laptop and router, 8 h ≈ 720 Wh, cpap with humidifier, one night ≈ 449 Wh and fridge and router, 24 h ≈ 2,064 Wh, before 15% inverter loss.

Which brands make power stations this size?

6 of the 6 brands we track have a current model in this band.

Which 1,000–1,999 Wh model costs least over its rated life?

The BLUETTI Elite 100 mini has the lowest list price per kWh of rated lifetime storage, about $0.07, against $0.25 for the Goal Zero Yeti 1500.

Lifetime kWh = capacity × rated cycles. Capacity fades with age, so this is a best case for comparing models, not a promise.

How fast do 1,000–1,999 Wh models recharge?

The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus refills fastest from solar, about 1.0 h of strong sun at its full input.

Which uses can't 1,000–1,999 Wh models cover?

No current 1,000–1,999 Wh model qualifies for 3 of our 12 uses. For each, the requirement that rules out the most models is shown.

• Best power stations for home backup: 17 of 17 fail capacity ≥ 2,000 Wh.
• Best power stations for a CPAP machine: 17 of 17 fail weight ≤ 20 lb.
• Power stations that can run a window air conditioner: 17 of 17 fail capacity ≥ 2,000 Wh.

Who should choose a different size?

Pick this size if your loads fit the table above and you want the weight and price of the median model.

• Go bigger (2,000–2,999 Wh) if you need longer runtimes.
• Go smaller (500–999 Wh) if you mainly charge phones and laptops or run a router or CPAP, and you carry the station often.
