Answer
Can the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus run BLACK+DECKER BDM05C 5,000 Btu/h window air conditioner?
Runs, surge risk
Runs, surge risk. Running draw 347 W is within 600 W continuous, but startup watts were not published. Willrun will not clear a compressor, pump, or tool start without that number. Estimated runtime: about 42 min.

What watts were compared?
Station continuous output is 600 W. No motor-surge rating is applied. Appliance running draw is 347 W.
How was the runtime calculated?
286 Wh × 0.85 = 243 Wh usable, divided by 347 W average draw.
Where did the numbers come from?
Spec table: 286 Wh, 3 outlets, 600 W total (surge 1,200 W, X-Boost 1,200 W), 10.4 lb, LiFePO4, 3,000 cycles to 80%. Page copy says X-Boost continuously handles 1,200 W heating devices. The shelf price on that page was not used; launch price was not stated. ENERGY STAR lists 5,000 Btu/h, CEER 14.4, 115 V, variable-speed compressor, and 260.4 kWh/year. Rated input is 5,000 ÷ 14.4 = 347.2 W. That matches the listed annual energy at the DOE room-AC assumption of 750 hours (347.2 × 750 ÷ 1,000 = 260.4). The 347.2 W figure is the draw while cooling at the rated condition, not a whole-year average. Startup watts are not published.
