Common questions

How long will the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus run a microwave?
About 2 hours from a full charge. A microwave averages about 1,500 W, and the 3,840 Wh battery gives about 3,264 Wh after inverter losses. That is 46% of the battery an hour.
Can I run other things at the same time?
Yes, up to about 4,500 W more of the 6,000 W output. Each thing you add shares the same battery, so the 2 hours for a microwave gets shorter.
How many days of normal use is that?
About 8 days, if you use a microwave about 15 minutes a day and nothing else is plugged in.
