How to read this chart

Capacity (Wh) tells you how long a unit can run your appliances. Output (W) tells you how much it can run at the same time, and surge decides whether it can start a fridge, pump or air conditioner. Solar input matters if you plan to recharge from panels during a long outage, because a higher number means a faster refill on a sunny day.

Not sure which numbers you need? Add your appliances to the power station size calculator and it will list the models from this chart that cover your load.

Frequently asked questions

Which power station has the most capacity for the money?

Prices change weekly, so compare the price divided by watt-hours at the moment you buy. Larger units usually cost less per watt-hour, but only if you will actually use the extra capacity.

Do all these power stations use LiFePO4 batteries?

Yes. Every model in this chart uses LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) cells, which are rated for thousands of cycles and are more thermally stable than older NMC lithium-ion cells.

What does surge watts mean?

Surge is the short burst of power the inverter can deliver for a fraction of a second, which motors in fridges, pumps and air conditioners need to start. It should exceed your running load plus the biggest motor start.
