What it runs (calculated)
| Compressor fridge (60W while running) | 32 hrs |
| LED lighting (10W) | 190 hrs |
| Laptop charging (65W) | 29 hrs |
| Induction hob (1800W) | 1.1 hrs |
Usable battery capacity 1,900Wh (Clayton manual). Hours = capacity divided by draw, at continuous load. A fridge cycles on and off, so real-world fridge time is longer. A standard UK 3kW kettle exceeds the continuous rating of both units, use a low-wattage one.
