Power station runtime calculator: what will it run, and for how long

Pick what you need to keep running. The table shows which power stations can run all of it at once, and for how long on one charge.

Results for: Phone charger

Yes. All 15 portable power stations we track can run a phone charger, for about 11.6 h (EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus) to 6.1 days (Anker SOLIX F3800) on a full charge.

Combined average draw: 20 W.

How these runtimes are calculated: runtime = usable capacity ÷ average draw of 20 W (the running draw, assumed on the whole time). Usable capacity is an independent test's measured figure, or 80% of rated capacity where none exists, marked "(est.)". A model must also carry the running watts continuously and the startup peak within its surge rating. The same formula applies to every model; see the methodology.

Light load: at 20 W the station's own consumption matters, so expect less than shown, especially overnight. Independently measured idle draw (AC inverter on, nothing plugged in): EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic 17 W, Anker SOLIX S2000 2.7 W, EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max 13.6 W, Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 18 W. Using a DC or USB output instead of the AC inverter, where your device allows it, avoids most of this loss.
