How long will an Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 run LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs)?
A little over a day — 31 h 1 min typically, from 29 h 11 min in the worst case to 32 h 50 min at best. That assumes LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs) pulling 35 W continuously, plus the station's 13 W AC mains socket overhead — 48 W in total out of 1,488 usable watt-hours.
About a sixth of the same tree in old incandescent bulbs, and cool enough to touch.
