Common questions
Can the Bluetti EB3A run a refrigerator (modern)?
Yes. A refrigerator (modern) draws about 150 W with a 1,200 W startup surge, and the Bluetti EB3A delivers 600 W continuously with a 1,200 W surge rating — comfortably enough. On its 268 Wh battery it runs one for roughly 4.6 h (the load cycles ~35% of the time, so it lasts longer than raw watts suggest).
