How long can it run a refrigerator?

Runtime depends on the fridge's draw and duty cycle. A typical full-size fridge averages well under 200W, so the station's large capacity can keep it running through a long outage, often a day or more. Check your fridge's rated watts and annual kWh for a closer estimate.

Can the 400W panel fully recharge it in a day?

In strong, direct sun the 400W panel delivers close to its rating, but real output drops with clouds, shade and panel angle. Expect a full recharge to take most of a clear day, and longer in mixed weather.

Can I use it indoors during an outage?

Yes. It produces no exhaust fumes, unlike a gas generator, so it can run indoors. Keep vents clear and avoid enclosing it in a tight cabinet.

What can it power at once?

It can run several devices together, including a fridge, lights, router and phone chargers, and can handle high-surge appliances like a microwave or power tool. Add up the running watts and check the surge rating of anything with a motor.

Does it work with other solar panels?

It accepts solar input through its solar charging port, so third-party panels with compatible voltage and connectors can work. Match the panel's voltage and current to the station's solar input limits.
