What should stay on when the power goes out?

Choose the loads that matter, set the outage length and build a practical plan around the battery you already have—or are considering.

Your outage

Nominal capacity from the product manual.
Energy you keep for uncertainty.
A planning assumption, not a lab measurement.
How long you want the plan to cover.
Optional panel power; check the station limit.
Energy-equivalent hours, not daylight length.

    How this is estimated

    Each selected load uses its listed watts for its listed daily hours, scaled to your outage length. Usable battery energy = capacity × (1 − reserve) × efficiency. Solar help uses panel watts × useful sun hours × a 75% planning yield. The model does not simulate startup surges, thermostat cycles, weather or charging taper.

    A plan beats a guess.

    Keep critical loads small, leave reserve for uncertainty and test your actual appliances before an emergency. Never connect a portable station to home wiring unless a qualified electrician and the product manual allow it.
