FAQ about Home Backup Power

Q1: What power is required for a portable power station to run a refrigerator as a backup battery?

A typical household refrigerator requires a continuous power supply of around 100 to 200 watts, but this wattage can spike up to 600-800 during startup. So, as a home backup battery, the portable power station should at least have a power output of 500 watts to compensate for the power surge during startup and the continuous power need.
The Anker SOLIX F3800 and F2000 are perfectly capable backup power sources and can be considered here.

Q2: How long will a whole house battery backup last?

The detailed usage time of a home backup battery can vary depending on the devices you're powering. Take Anker SOLIX F3800 portable power station as an example, the model boasts a substantial 3840 watt-hours and offers the ability to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Based on the device's specifications and various user experiences, it could theoretically power an LED bulb for 36.4 hours, a TV for 20.1 hours and a common refrigerator for about 14.9 hours.

Q3: Is a 6kW portable power station enough to serve as a home backup battery?

A 6000W battery may be sufficient to operate some essentials in your household, such as a TV, a toaster or several LEB bulbs. However, it’s not likely adequate to run everything under normal use, especially during peak energy usage times or for power-hungry appliances like air conditioners, electric heaters, or electric stoves. The more power you use, the faster the battery will drain.
