Fridge runtime · ALLPOWERS R1500
How Long Will an ALLPOWERS R1500 Run a Refrigerator?
About 13.9 h for an average US fridge (617 kWh a year, 70.4 W), by our math: 1,152 Wh × 0.85 ÷ 70.4 W. Across the cases below: 12.1 h to 23.3 h.

Fridge hours on the R1500
| Case | Watts | On the R1500 |
|---|---|---|
| Efficient 18 cu ft (368 kWh a year) (ENERGY STAR) | 42 W | 23.3 h |
| Average US fridge (617 kWh a year) (EIA) | 70.4 W | 13.9 h |
| Large 26 cu ft (708 kWh a year) (ENERGY STAR) | 80.8 W | 12.1 h |
Wh × 0.85 ÷ (watts + the station’s own draw, where the maker lists it).
These are yearly averages: the compressor cycles on and off, so the fridge draws more while it runs and nothing in between.
Can the R1500 start it?
A compressor needs extra power to start: Anker says some fridges need two to three times their running power (Anker). We plan for about 300 W running × 3 = 900 W. The R1500’s surge of 3,000 W covers that.
Keeping it going with solar
A day with an average US fridge (617 kWh a year) uses about 1,690 Wh, about 1,988 Wh from the battery. At the R1500’s 650 W solar input and our 75% assumption, that is more than the 1,152 Wh battery holds, so the battery alone won’t cover it; a full charge from empty takes about 2.4 hours of strong sun.
