The full specification

Where it is strong, and where it is not

  • Capacity. On this axis it holds more energy than most of the range.

What should give you pause

  • Backup. No switchover time is published, so do not assume it will carry a desktop or a CPAP machine through a cut without testing it yourself.

What it will actually run

These estimates use the same arithmetic as the run time calculator: usable watt hours after an assumed 85% inverter efficiency, divided by the appliance's average draw rather than its peak. The fridge figure assumes the compressor runs about a third of the time, which is what makes it plausible.

ApplianceTypical drawEstimated run time
Fridge120 W41 h 27 min
CPAP machine45 W38 h 41 min
Router and modem15 W116 h 3 min

Read the rating plate on your own appliance before trusting any of these. The wattages above are common starting points, not measurements of your kit.

Common questions

How long will the AC200L run a fridge?

See the table above. The figure assumes an average domestic fridge and a compressor running about a third of the time. A warm room, a full shelf of fresh shopping or a door that keeps opening all push the real duty cycle up and the run time down.

Can I add capacity later?

Yes, this model accepts an expansion battery. That matters more than it looks: most people underestimate the size they need, and an expandable unit turns that mistake into an accessory purchase rather than a replacement.

What does the cycle rating promise?

That after 3,000 cycles to 80%, the pack still holds the stated share of its original capacity. It is a degradation threshold, not a failure point. Always note the endpoint when comparing against another maker: they do not all quote the same one.
