How Long Will a BLUETTI Apex 300 Run a Refrigerator?

About 26 h for an average US fridge (617 kWh a year, 70.4 W), by our math: 2,765 Wh × 0.85 ÷ (70.4 W + its 20 W own draw). Across the cases below: 23.3 h to 37.9 h.

Fridge hours on the Apex 300

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 Apex 300 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 Apex 300’s 3,840 W output (no surge rating is listed) covers that.

Keeping it going with solar

A day with an average US fridge (617 kWh a year) uses about 1,690 Wh, about 2,552 Wh from the battery with its own 20 W draw. At the Apex 300’s 2,400 W solar input and our 75% assumption, that takes about 1.4 hours of strong sun to put back; a full charge from empty takes about 1.5 hours. See solar recharge time.
