How long will a fridge run on a power station?

Most full-size fridges need about 2,104.4 Wh for a day. A bigger battery simply lasts longer.

If you do not know the yellow-label kWh, the calculator’s estimate for “Not sure” uses the median of 2,430 certified U.S. refrigerator-freezer rows: 500 kWh a year. That is not your model, not an old refrigerator, and not a national average. On that assumption, 24 hours needs about 2,104.4 Wh. In-stock matches come first. Preorder matches are listed only when they cover the target. Out-of-stock models stay on Compare.

  • EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus, 3,072 Wh: about 35.0 hours. The watt-hours cover 24 hours on this assumption. Startup is not confirmed.
  • Jackery HomePower 3000, 3,072 Wh: about 35.0 hours. The watt-hours cover 24 hours on this assumption. Startup is not confirmed.
  • EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus + Smart Extra Battery, 4,096 Wh: about 46.7 hours. The watt-hours cover 24 hours on this assumption. Startup is not confirmed.
  • EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus + DELTA 3 Max Plus Extra Battery, 5,120 Wh: about 58.4 hours. The watt-hours cover 24 hours on this assumption. Startup is not confirmed.
  • Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus + Battery Pack 5000 Plus, 10,080 Wh: about 115.0 hours. The watt-hours cover 24 hours on this assumption. Startup is not confirmed.

None of these hours is a test this site performed. Watt-hours do not confirm that the compressor will start.

Common questions

Is this how long my refrigerator will run?

No. It’s a typical full-size fridge, not a reading from yours.

Why do the listed batteries show different hours?

Each published watt-hour capacity is different. The same average load lasts longer in a larger battery. A longer runtime is not proof of startup.

These are estimates. Real runtime depends on your fridge, its age, and how often it's opened.
