Questions

What number does Willrun compare to the inverter?

Running watts of 8.7 W must fit under continuous output, or under a resistive boost when this load is a simple heater. Startup watts were not published.

How is runtime calculated?

Usable watt-hours (capacity × 0.85) divided by 8.7 W. The duty cycle is 1, derived from the source note, not assumed.

Where did this come from?

TP-Link lists typical power consumption in networked standby, with all wired ports connected and all wireless radios activated, at 8.7 W. The power adapter is 12 V, 2.5 A, which is a supply rating and is not used as the draw.
