How Long Will It Run

How long will a Pecron E1500LFP run a heated clothes airer?

About 3.6 hours — 3 h 35 min typically, from 3 h 22 min in the worst case to 3 h 47 min at best. That assumes a heated clothes airer pulling 300 W continuously, plus the station's 12 W AC mains socket overhead — 312 W in total out of 1,116 usable watt-hours.

No thermostat on most models, so it draws its full rating for as long as it is on — a cover over the load dries it faster and saves hours.

  • 0.5 nights of eight hours, or 0.15 days of continuous running.
  • Usable energy: 1,116 Wh of the 1,536 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
  • To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 10,303 Wh of rated capacity — 6.7× this station.
  • Start-up: the heated clothes airer asks for 300 W at switch-on against this station's 4,400 W peak — comfortable.
