Outage plan
24-hour outage
The compact fridge in this mix is a surge risk on every station, because Danby did not publish startup watts. The CPAP, router, bulb, and TV fit the running-watt check on every station in the set. EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max, EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3, BLUETTI AC200L, Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus, Jackery Explorer 2000 v2, Anker SOLIX F2000 (PowerHouse 767), Anker SOLIX F3800 have enough nameplate watt-hours, after the 85% allowance, for this 24-hour mix (1,608 Wh of load).
A one-day essentials plan using a compact fridge, a CPAP, a router, one LED bulb, and a 55-inch TV, with every watt traced to a source. The load adds up to 1,608 Wh, which needs about 1,892 Wh of nameplate capacity after the 85% allowance.

Questions
What does a 24-hour outage take?
The compact fridge in this mix is a surge risk on every station, because Danby did not publish startup watts. The CPAP, router, bulb, and TV fit the running-watt check on every station in the set. EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max, EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3, BLUETTI AC200L, Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus, Jackery Explorer 2000 v2, Anker SOLIX F2000 (PowerHouse 767), Anker SOLIX F3800 have enough nameplate watt-hours, after the 85% allowance, for this 24-hour mix (1,608 Wh of load).
What is in the mix?
Danby DCR032C1WDB 3.2 cu ft compact refrigerator for 24 hours at 24.9 W (598 Wh). Annual-average duty, already baked into the 24.9 W figure. ResMed AirSense 11, typical power from the user guide for 8 hours at 56.1 W (449 Wh). One night at the user-guide typical of 56.1 W. TP-Link Archer AX73 router, networked standby for 24 hours at 8.7 W (209 Wh). Networked standby at 8.7 W, left on. Simply Conserve L9W-A19 LED bulb for 5 hours at 9 W (45 Wh). One 9 W bulb for the evening. A whole house is more. LG 55QNED85 55-inch TV for 4 hours at 76.9 W (308 Wh). Four hours of on-mode power at 76.9 W.
Why is a full-size fridge missing?
Samsung RT18DG6300 17.5 cu ft top-freezer refrigerator averages 38 W over the year in ENERGY STAR data. It is not in the outage mix because its compressor watts were not published.
Does this count solar or a second battery?
No. The hours assume the station starts full and is not recharged. Extra batteries and solar input are not in the spec tables used here.
Why can a station cover the watt-hours and still be a surge risk?
Stored energy and startup are different tests. A pack can hold the day's average and still fail to start the compressor. Willrun keeps both columns.
