≈ 0.3 days (24h/day) · Safe motor start buffer (47.7% margin).
1/2 HP sump running (1,150 W max) and start-up (2,700 W max) draw fit the Pecron E1500LFP's 2,200 W continuous / 4,400 W surge ratings.
light rain: 4 cycles/h × 18 s at 800 W (16 W avg)
active storm: 15 cycles/h × 36 s at 1,050 W (158 W avg)
severe flooding: 24 cycles/h × 45 s at 1,150 W (345 W avg)
≈ 0.3 days (24h/day)
System standby power: 16W (8.2% of total draw)
Provides 4× CEE 7/3 (230V) (120V 60Hz).
Pure sine wave inverter output. Safe for all standard household appliances.
Inductive motor/compressor load with 2.2× starting surge (motor inrush) (47.7% worst-case surge margin).
Wall AC fast charge at up to 1400W (70m to 80%, 95m to 100%).
Safe envelope verified: Starting surge (2300W) remains comfortably below the 4400W surge trip line, with steady-state operation settling into the safe continuous zone at 1050W.
About 7.9 hours on AC power, with the 1/2 HP sump averaging 158 W (active storm: 15 cycles/h × 36 s at 1,050 W (158 W avg)). The Pecron E1500LFP then draws about 194 W from its battery, including 16 W for the inverter itself. Best case: about 45 hours (light rain: 4 cycles/h × 18 s at 800 W (16 W avg)). Worst case: about 3.8 hours (severe flooding: 24 cycles/h × 45 s at 1,150 W (345 W avg)).
Yes. The 1/2 HP sump's start-up peak of about 2,300 W (up to 2,700 W) fits within the Pecron E1500LFP's 4,400 W surge rating, with 39% headroom even in the worst case.
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.
