How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a nebuliser?
About 3.5 hours — 3 h 32 min typically, from 3 h 20 min in the worst case to 3 h 45 min at best. That assumes a nebuliser pulling 130 W continuously, plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 140 W in total out of 496 usable watt-hours.
Used for ten or fifteen minutes at a time, so what matters is that the station starts it, not how many hours it lasts.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × nebuliser, UK 230 V | 140 W | 3 h 20 min | 3 h 32 min | 3 h 45 min |
| 2 × nebuliser, UK 230 V | 270 W | 1 h 44 min | 1 h 50 min | 1 h 56 min |
| 1 × nebuliser, US 120 V | 140 W | 3 h 20 min | 3 h 32 min | 3 h 45 min |
- 0.4 nights of eight hours, or 0.15 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 496 Wh of the 720 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 4,623 Wh of rated capacity — 6.4× this station.
- Start-up: the nebuliser asks for 250 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.

If this is for a power cut
If someone depends on this, follow the equipment provider's backup plan first. In the UK, ask your network operator to add them to the Priority Services Register. These make the dark hours easier either way.
DC power cable for the CPAP. Running a CPAP straight from a 12 V socket skips the inverter and makes any battery last much longer.
Look for: A cable made for your exact machine; ask the equipment supplier which one before buying.
Plug-in power failure lights. They live in a socket as a night light, charge themselves, and switch on the moment the mains goes off, so you are never hunting for a torch in the dark.
Look for: A built-in battery you can pull out and carry as a torch, and a UK three-pin plug if you are in the UK.
