A bigger number
isn’t always a better fit.
Watts tell you what can run. Watt-hours help tell you how long. Start with the things you use, then choose the setup that supports the day you want.

Use measured or label values for your own devices. The entries below are editable examples, not appliance ratings.
How long might a steady load run?
About 8.7 hours at 85% usable energy.
Planning formulas: daily Wh = sum of average watts × hours. Nominal battery Wh = daily Wh × days ÷ usable fraction. Runtime = battery Wh × usable fraction ÷ steady watts. The 85% default is an illustrative allowance, not a tested efficiency claim. Inverter idle draw, temperature, battery age, and changing loads affect results. For cycling refrigerators, use measured daily consumption. These tools do not establish safe wiring or appliance compatibility.

Power Out There helps RV travelers make sense of portable power. We turn specifications into practical questions: what can it run, how long might it last, and what else belongs in the setup?
Our features use manufacturer information, linked so you can check the details. Our calculations show their assumptions. The aim is simple: help you choose with confidence and get back outside.
