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.
