Frequently Asked Questions: Pecron E1500LFP & Mini-Fridge / Beverage Cooler

How long will a Pecron E1500LFP run a mini-fridge?

About 36 hours on AC power, with the mini-fridge averaging 25 W (3.2–4.4 cu ft double-door mini-fridge at standard 35% duty cycle (25 W avg)). The Pecron E1500LFP then draws about 43 W from its battery, including 16 W for the inverter itself. Best case: about 45 hours (1.7 cu ft compact beverage cooler with thermostat set to 40°F (17 W avg)). Worst case: about 28 hours (4.5+ cu ft mini-fridge with small freezer compartment in warm ambient (35 W avg)).

Can a Pecron E1500LFP start a mini-fridge?

Yes. The mini-fridge's start-up peak of about 400 W (up to 600 W) fits within the Pecron E1500LFP's 4,400 W surge rating, with 86% headroom even in the worst case.

Why isn't the runtime just 1,536 Wh ÷ 25 W?

That simple division gives 61 hours, but the Pecron E1500LFP's inverter draws about 16 W whenever its AC outlets are on. At this light load that's 37% of everything the battery supplies, and inverter conversion losses take a further share. The idle figure comes from Pecron.

How long does the Pecron E1500LFP take to recharge?

On wall power: about 70 minutes to 80% and 95 minutes to full (Pecron figures). With its maximum 700 W of solar input connected, expect about 560 W in full sun, so a full recharge takes roughly 2.9 hours of full sun, so it can refill in a single day with 4 peak sun hours.
