Growatt HELIOS 3600 Runtime Calculator
Use this source-linked record to estimate runtime from tracked capacity, output, charging, and weight fields. Unknown specs stay unknown until an official or manufacturer-grade source confirms them.

Surge output stays unknown because the checked official table publishes rated AC output per outlet group without a peak rating. The 3600W figure is the published total across the four 20A outlets; the same table lists a separate 2200W 240V outlet. DC output uses the listed 13.2V/30A Anderson port. Expansion batteries are sold separately and are not modeled here.
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.

Good fit when
- Capacity is in a larger outage/RV class, so the useful question is usually output limits, recharge speed, and weight rather than watt-hours alone.
- 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 2,000 W before panel, weather, angle, and controller losses.
Watch out for
- Surge output is unknown, so do not assume compressor, pump, or power-tool startup will work.
- Still unknown in the source-backed record: surge output.
- Tracked weight is in a heavier class; plan where it will live before treating it as a grab-and-go station.
- Confidence is not marked verified; keep the linked source context visible before making a purchase or emergency plan.
