How Long Will It Run

How long will a Zendure SuperBase V4600 run LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs)?

About 2.5 days — 2 days 13 h typically, from 2 days 9 h in the worst case to 2 days 16 h at best. That assumes LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs) pulling 35 W continuously, plus the station's 20 W AC mains socket overhead — 55 W in total out of 3,349 usable watt-hours.

Note how much of that draw is the station rather than the appliance: 36% of the energy goes on keeping the inverter awake. On a load this small, the idle draw matters more than the capacity does.
