How Long Can a 12V LiFePO4 Battery Run a Fridge, TV, Laptop, and Wifi Router (PowerQueen test)

About 17 hours for the fridge. Also around 17 hours for the tv. About 24 hours for the laptop and router. About 4 hours for all plus some lighting. Thank you.

What's good about this video is the clear concise and educational aspects for me in this growing offgrid industry. No hidden stuff

I have a similar setup in terms of volume and output. You put together a very detailed and informative video, well done. I couldnt help but to smile when i seen the look on your kids faces, "Here comes dad, with another tinkering experiment". I get that look from my children as well. 😂 Keep up the good work. I will definitely subscribe and see what you have been up to from time to time.

You did a comparison with lead acid batteries which was great because I use those. These are the kind of questions I have always wanted answered but no DIYer or professional electrician have ever answered. Thanks for your elaborate tests. I have learned a lot from you

Thank you for this video Ray. I bought a Licciti battery box with 1,000 Watt inverter and 284 Ah Lifepo4 prismatic battery kit. I tested this last weekend with my traditional top freezer mount fridge and it went 30 hours and didn't get to 50% discharge. I only stopped using it since I still don't feel comfortable leaving it alone at home while we're away. I am watching your videos, David Poz, Will Prowse and many others as I have begun buying the parts for a 48 Volt system. I really wasn't sure whether to buy more Licciti battery boxes/power stations or go to a large system but finally decided to avoid spending more money on the small power stations.

This is the exact video I have been looking to detail for an upgrade and use.

Thanks for doing this. I have been seeing vids of this battery and wondered about how long it would run a frig. lol Perfect!

It helped me. Straightforward and real-world testing. Thank you for taking the time to produce the(se) video.

yes the load on the inverter matters to rate the efficiency. A constant high draw load will be most efficient compared to a super low draw because the inverter has to be on longer doing the conversion from dc to ac for a longer time therefore consuming more of your battery into thin air.

The amount of time you can get for a fridge will depend greatly on the ambient temp . If it's 40 degrees in your house it will run a lot longer than if it's 100 degrees.

Nice real life practical test. One correction as I've been using LiFePO4 so some time now. I don't recommend bringing the level down to zero too often as it will affect the amount of life cycles over time. I have a large solar array and expect at least ten or more years from my Power Queens but I won't run them down more than 60%. I better get at least 6-8000 cycles out of them.

Yup, 50% more storage juice. I have at least 32 KW hours in lifepo4 at 48V with a 10,000 watt solar array outside. I initially purchased a few 5Ah tiny lifepos, studied them and learned enough to build two 15KW/Hr 300 pound, 48V batteries. For portable power stations I have literally lived off of the Bluetti AC200p for four flawless years straight. I gave it to my neighbor so he could learn about it after upgrading to the AC300 four stacker, B300's.

Thanks for running these tests!

Anything that will run off 12V should come directly from the battery. I have the same battery running twelve LED light strips about 16hrs a day, a router, phone and tablet 24hrs a day, and it uses about 40ah on average with the lights being the highest draw.

Very good! Thanks. This is the practical kind of stuff we need to know.

Thankyou for your patience to post the knowledge.

Great video. Yup, the inverter will make a huge difference on how long things will run. I have 4 200AH SOKs in my rig with a Victron set-up and 1000W on panels. In summer, no problem staying near fully charged. System draw approx 15% of battery bank overnight if we are not here and 20-25 when we are. Winter, I get about a week to week and a half due to cloudy or full overcast days. These batteries are not that new BUT the prices have gotten consistently cheaper and recently very cheap.

I have one, Sir❤❤❤❤ last weekend worked with my diesel heater for 3 days without any charge!

Yesterday, due to storms, we had a power outage that lasted somewhere around 6 to 7 hours. After just about 4 hours, decided to plug the refrigerator into the 268 WH Bluetti power station.. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that it started and ran, and it showed that it had about 2.6 hours estimated in the beginning. Was drawing about 100 watts, but seemed to settle down to 85 watts. Now I have a starting point to consider whether I want to go the route of a power station, power station + solar, or a good old fashioned generator.

Great real world research! Very useful.
