How long will an Anker SOLIX F3800 run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?
About 1.7 days — 41 h 2 min typically, from 38 h 38 min in the worst case to 43 h 27 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 18 W AC mains socket overhead — 68 W in total out of 2,791 usable watt-hours.
The fan runs the whole time it is standing up, so the hours it is on decide the cost.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|

- 5.1 nights of eight hours, or 1.71 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 2,791 Wh of the 3,840 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,246 Wh of rated capacity — which this station has.
- Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 8,000 W (230 V) / 9,000 W (120 V) peak — comfortable.
