How long will a power station run a chest freezer?

Catalog chest freezer nameplate is 100W. Hours below are compressor-on hours at 100W.

Hours use usable watt-hours: nameplate Wh x 0.80 depth of discharge x 0.90 inverter efficiency. The 1.25 sizing buffer is for buying a new battery. It is not used for hours of a station you already own.

Catalog note: cycles about 6 hours a day. At 6 compressor hours per day, daily energy is 600 Wh. That is not days of frozen food.

Only power stations Field Authority has signed appear here. Catalog SKUs without a lock-file row stay off this table.

Compressor start can exceed nameplate. This table uses continuous watts only. No unsigned surge number.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will a 3072Wh station run a chest freezer?

Usable watt-hours are 3072 x 0.80 x 0.90. At 100W compressor-on that is 22 hours. The compressor is not on 24 hours a day.

Does 6 hours a day mean several days of frozen food?

No. Six hours a day is compressor energy, 600 Wh per day. Food hold depends on the box, the seal, how often you open it, and room temperature. That is not on this page.

Is a chest freezer easier than a fridge?

The catalog freezer is 100W nameplate vs 150W for a full-size fridge, and it cycles less. Keep the lid shut.
