The full specification

Where it is strong, and where it is not

  • Backup switchover. On this axis it switches over fast enough to carry a computer through a cut.
  • Cycle life. On this axis its cells are rated for an unusually long service life.
  • Watt hours per kilo. On this axis it carries more watt hours per kilo than most.

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

CPAP machine45 W19 h 21 min
Router and modem15 W58 h 2 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 Elite 100 V2 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.

What does the cycle rating promise?

That after 4,000 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.
