Questions to ask
How long will it run a refrigerator?
About 3.1 hours is the planning estimate for a 200W refrigerator with a 35% duty cycle.
Can it run a CPAP?
About 3.6 hours is the estimate without a heated humidifier. CPAP is not a life-support recommendation.
Is it good for home backup?
It is a candidate if its capacity and output cover your essential loads. Add 20–30% reserve and verify startup surge.
