The manual separately publishes 2700W surge capability and a 2700W resistive-load Power Lifting mode; the stored surge value is backed by the explicit surge statement, not inferred from Power Lifting.

Third-party measured tests

These are published third-party measurements for this model. The delta compares measured delivered Wh with WattRunTime's default no-reserve planning estimate for the same output path; it is not a new measurement.

Runtime Starting Points

These are formula estimates using the tracked capacity, a 10% reserve, and each scenario's default wattage and duty cycle. They are planning starters, not measured runtimes.

Assumptions

  • 1152 Wh nominal battery capacity
  • AC inverter output path
  • 85% conversion efficiency
  • 10% reserve kept unused
  • 60 W average load from 1 load
  • 100% battery health
  • 0% temperature loss
  • Fixed station overhead unknown; not included

Warnings

  • This is an estimate. Real runtime changes with load, temperature, battery age, AC/DC output, and device behavior.

Good fit when

  • Capacity is in a mid-size planning class that can cover many overnight or essential-load scenarios when reserve and efficiency are included.
  • Tracked AC output is high enough for many household plug-in loads, but surge still needs a separate check.
  • USB-C output is tracked at laptop-class power, useful for direct DC charging when the device supports it.
  • Tracked solar input is 500 W before panel, weather, angle, and controller losses.

Watch out for

  • Surge output is tracked, but device startup behavior should still be checked against the actual load.
