Assuming 100% efficiency, the 245 Wh capacity would indicate it could power a 245-watt device for 1 hour; it could power a 100-watt device for 2.45 hours; it could power a 24.5-watt device for 10 hours; or it could power a 490-watt device for 0.5 hours. You can use the wattage of your devices to estimate how long it may last on a fully-charged unit. I'd assume only about 80% of the estimated time, though.

Someone needs to make a power generator that sucks the fat out of you and convert those calories into kWhr.

I just bought it, along with the 45W solar panel. I also got a free bag, which is listed as normally $79. I'm not sure if it's a mistake to get the discount on both the generator and to get the free bag, but the total for River 3 generator, solar panel, and bag was $200, plus $18 tax. There is a link for the free bag next to the item (https://i.imgur.com/NzqZJR8.png), which takes you here:

Then you add the "benefit item" (the bag) from that page.

You can apparently add on a solar panel for only $30 more, which is not a bad deal.

I'm sorta dense when it comes to these things. Can someone explain to me use cases for this?

Like, I read it can keep appliances on, but I ALSO "THINK" I read that there is a maximum wattage of 100. What does that mean? I can't power a fridge?

How long is the power supposed to last? Yeah, it says 245 Wh. I'm assuming watt hours, but I have no idea how to translate that into how long it will keep my desktop on. Can I plug this thing into my car port and have it start my car if the battery is dead? Can I plug my power strip into this thing and have it power my gaming even though the power is out? For how long? Btw, if my desktop, complete with 2 monitors, and the modem + router can keep going for 2 or more hours; slickdeals will have cost me another 170 bucks this year!

I bring it camping to power inflators for air mattresses, inner tubes, etc and charge phones. If you want to run a big workload units get bigger and more expensive pretty quickly

I use this exact model to power a baseball pitching machine on baseball fields. It powers a 1/3 hp motor for about an hour. That is plenty of time to wear out any batter. If I had bought a larger one, it would be a pain to carry. This one ended up perfect for my needs.

Looks like 4.6 hours for a 40w cpap machine according to the 6th image in the amazon listing

Sure. Although how long is going to depend on the machine, use of heat and humidity, etc..

I don't understand how these newly released Ecoflow products are considered a deal. It's not on sale... It just released.
