How Long Will It Run

How long will a DJI Power 1000 run a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween)?

About 12 hours — 12 h 12 min typically, from 11 h 29 min in the worst case to 12 h 55 min at best. That assumes a garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 11 W AC mains socket overhead — 61 W in total out of 744 usable watt-hours.

The fan runs the whole time it is standing up, so the hours it is on decide the cost.

  • 1.5 nights of eight hours, or 0.51 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 744 Wh of the 1,024 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 2,014 Wh of rated capacity — 2× this station.
  • Start-up: the garden inflatable (christmas or halloween) asks for 50 W at switch-on against this station's 4,400 W peak — comfortable.
