Outage plan
3-day 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. No base unit in this set stores enough for this mix. The load is 4,823 Wh, which needs about 5,675 Wh of nameplate capacity after the 85% allowance, and nothing here is that large without an extra battery.
The same essentials repeated for three days, with no solar or wall recharge counted. The load adds up to 4,823 Wh, which needs about 5,675 Wh of nameplate capacity after the 85% allowance.

Questions
What does a 3-day 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. No base unit in this set stores enough for this mix. The load is 4,823 Wh, which needs about 5,675 Wh of nameplate capacity after the 85% allowance, and nothing here is that large without an extra battery.
What is in the mix?
Danby DCR032C1WDB 3.2 cu ft compact refrigerator for 72 hours at 24.9 W (1793 Wh). Annual-average duty, already baked into the 24.9 W figure. ResMed AirSense 11, typical power from the user guide for 24 hours at 56.1 W (1346 Wh). One night at the user-guide typical of 56.1 W. TP-Link Archer AX73 router, networked standby for 72 hours at 8.7 W (626 Wh). Networked standby at 8.7 W, left on. Simply Conserve L9W-A19 LED bulb for 15 hours at 9 W (135 Wh). One 9 W bulb for the evening. A whole house is more. LG 55QNED85 55-inch TV for 12 hours at 76.9 W (923 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.
