What will the PECRON E300LFP run?
The PECRON E300LFP stores 288Wh with 600W of output. Running one thing at a time, that's about 2.5 to 5 hours of a refrigerator, about 7.5 to 16 hours of a CPAP with the humidifier off and about 8 to 11 hours of Wi-Fi.
288Wh with 600W output by PECRON's listing, but 11.6 lb, heavier than most small stations.

Runtime: 288Wh × 90% usable × 85% inverter efficiency ÷ (the average draw + about 10W the station uses itself), from Energy Star figures and makers' manuals. "Runs it?" checks its output against the cautious running and starting figures on generator makers' and DTE Energy's charts. Plan on the low end. Your own list: the power station calculator.
Questions
Can the PECRON E300LFP run a refrigerator?
Probably, for about 2.5 to 5 hours, but check first: surge rating not listed: check it. Modern refrigerators often start with less than the charts' cautious figure.
How long will the PECRON E300LFP run a CPAP?
About 7.5 to 16 hours with the humidifier and heated tube off, or about 3 to 7 hours with them on, running nothing else. Running it from the 12V outlet through the CPAP maker's own converter avoids the inverter's losses, so it lasts longer than these figures.
Can the PECRON E300LFP run a space heater?
Only briefly: a space heater on high draws up to about 1,500 watts, so it lasts about 0 to 0.5 hours. See how to stay warm without power for what works better.
