Power Calculator for a Charging Station
Select the devices you want to power during a blackout. Clicking a card adds the device, clicking again removes it.
For continuously running devices, the calculation is based on 6 hours of operation. For short-term appliances (for example, a microwave, hair dryer, or kettle), the calculator uses typical usage time, not the full 6 hours.

How to choose a portable power station for home, apartment, or blackout
Choosing a power station starts with understanding how much power and capacity you need. The calculator above helps estimate total consumption, peak load, and find the best model for your usage scenario.
If you need a power station for blackout situations, it’s important to consider not only average consumption but also real usage conditions. For example, a laptop or router may run for hours, while a microwave or kettle works only minutes but requires high power.
Main factors when choosing a power station
- Power (W) — determines which devices can run
- Capacity (Wh) — defines how long it works
- Peak power — important for appliances like fridges
- Expandability — ability to add extra batteries
Power consumption table of common devices
| Device | Avg Power (W) | Peak Power (W) |
|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi Router | 10 | 15 |
| Laptop | 50–60 | 90 |
| Monitor | 30 | 80 |
| TV | 80–120 | 150 |
| Refrigerator | 100–150 | 500+ |
| Boiler with pump | 70–100 | 200 |
| Gaming PC | 300–500 | 1000+ |
| Microwave | 1000 | 1500 |
| Hair Dryer | 1500–1800 | 2000 |
| Electric Kettle | 1800 | 2000 |
| Vacuum Cleaner | 1500–1800 | 2200 |
| Water Heater | 1500–2000 | 3000 |
FAQ — frequently asked questions
❓ What power station should I choose for an apartment?
Typically 1000–2000W is enough. For fridge or heating — choose more powerful models.
❓ Can a power station run a refrigerator?
Yes, but you must consider peak startup power and have a reserve.
❓ How long does a power station last?
Depends on capacity and load. Example: 2000Wh at 200W ≈ 8–10 hours.
❓ Can I connect multiple devices?
Yes, if total power does not exceed the station limit.
❓ Can I extend battery life?
Yes, with additional battery modules.
