How much energy does tailgating need?

The answer band reports the sourced manifest's daily device energy before each station's conversion losses; the editable calculator recalculates it when any load changes.

Why do running power and startup surge both matter?

Running power checks whether every device can operate together. Worst-start surge checks the largest startup event while the other devices remain on.

Can I change the devices or duration?

Yes. The linked sizing calculator opens with this exact manifest, duration, solar, and weight configuration ready to edit.

How are station matches selected?

A station must pass capacity, continuous inverter, surge, and any configured weight constraint using the shared BatteryRank sizing engine.

What recharging changes

The default plan does not assume solar recharging. Add a panel size in the editable calculator to see daily harvest and deficit by station.
