01 · Runtime ladder

Capacity steps, on the same load

Nominal capacity × depth of discharge × inverter efficiency ÷ sourced average draw.

These are comparison projections, not a promise. Temperature, inverter behavior, cycling, and the individual station's measured delivered capacity can change real runtime.

Questions, answered from the same inputs

Can a portable power station run well pump?
Yes. 8 stations in the current sourced catalog pass the capacity and inverter checks for the default runtime.
What power figure matters most for well pump?
The sourced running draw determines both inverter fit and battery runtime. No separate real-watt startup figure is available from the cited source.
How are the runtime estimates calculated?
BatteryRank multiplies rated capacity by the published depth-of-discharge and inverter-efficiency assumptions, then divides by the sourced average device draw.
Can I size this for a different number of hours?
Yes. Open the sizing calculator with this sourced device preselected, then change the hours, days, solar input, or measured draw.
