Common questions

How long will the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus run a box fan?
About 38 hours from a full charge. A box fan averages about 85 W, and the 3,840 Wh battery gives about 3,264 Wh after inverter losses. That is 2.6% of the battery an hour.
Can I run other things at the same time?
Yes, up to about 5,915 W more of the 6,000 W output. Each thing you add shares the same battery, so the 38 hours for a box fan gets shorter.
How many days of normal use is that?
About 4 days, if you use a box fan about 8 hours a day and nothing else is plugged in.
