How long can it run a refrigerator?

Runtime depends on the fridge's draw and duty cycle. A typical full-size fridge cycles on and off, so expect many hours of backup, but check the fridge's wattage against the 1,800 W output before relying on it.

Can it be charged with solar panels?

Yes, solar is a listed power source. Match panel voltage and connector to Anker's solar input spec, and expect charge speed to scale with panel wattage and sunlight.

Can it run a space heater or power tool?

It can start many power tools within its 1,800 W rating. Resistive loads like space heaters draw continuous high wattage and will drain the battery fast, so they suit short use only.

Is it safe to use indoors?

Yes. It has no fuel and no exhaust, so unlike a gas generator it can run inside a home, though keep vents clear and avoid damp locations.

How is it different from a gas generator?

It is quieter, fume-free, and starts instantly, but it stores a fixed amount of energy instead of refueling. For multi-day outages, pair it with solar panels or a larger battery.
