1500Watt is the magic number. The space heater use that much. Toaster too. I bet the air fryers are also use that much. It's the limit for many house electrical wiring, just look at your circuit breaker and likely it's the 15A which is basically 1500 Watt capacity.

You need to be in tier 2 and 3 to be qualified for the rebate 😑.

If your an SCE customer (Southern California Edison) there's a 75 rebate on this, making it a smoking deal. I did it last time with a similar model with USB c, and SCE mailed me a check.

Lol, no. Most refrigerators will need from 1000 to 1500 starting watts.

240wh/12v = ~20ah battery. Not a bad price for this unit with sine wave inverter and mppt controller but battery capacity will only run light loads. 200w max running load 400w peak start.

100w load = 2 hours runtime, maybe less depending on how low this unit will let you drain the battery

Decent price, but I expect these to go lower and be closed out. Weak USB-A only, no USB c or PD, and the single outlet make it a very limited unit. I would far rather pay 60-100 more for the 300 series unit.

A cheapo 3-cell laptop battery is like 24 watt-hours. A nicer laptop battery is 45 watt-hours. So this thing is about 5-10 times more capacity than a laptop battery. Kinda gives you a way to judge capacity based on something we have common experience with.

It can run my full sized desktop computer for 2-3 hours.

What a shame to pair such good components with such minuscule capacity.

Is there something like the Jackery, but with external battery connections? So you can hook up your own car battery?

I like the electronics on the Jackery. The solar power charge controller and inverter and 12V output are all really nice. But a build-in lithium battery seems like this product would only last a few years.

Can you connect a car battery to the charge jack and use it in pass-through mode when the lithium ion battery is on its way out?

Drain too much and you kill the battery. But if it doesn't allow you to drain much it defeating the purpose of using this. laugh out loud

duracell powersource 660 is what your looking for. You can't expand lithium with lead acid vice versa. The Duracell I picked up from Costco for 399 and it powers a fridge/freezer in my car 24/7 as it pass through chargers with solar. I also sometimes power a small 700w microwave. You can expand the capacity my linking unlimited amount of car batteries or even linking it to the car battery your car uses so when you drive your alternator chargers them all as well. In that case though it wouldn't be so portable which is why I leave it stand alone, I find the battery capacity works for me as is.

You could get a battery box for a boat trolling motor like this https://www.amazon.com/Newport-Ve...ljaz10cnVl

But it only has 1 dc and 1 USB. You put in a 50Ah deep cycle battery which is like $100, and you'll also need a deep cycle battery charger with alligator clips.
