FAQ

Which is better for day trips and camera charging?

Elite 100 V2 has the portability advantage by listed weight, while Apex 300 2764.8Wh provides more stored energy. Pick the constraint that matters most for this use case.

Which model is the stronger fit for overnight backup planning?

Apex 300 2764.8Wh has the larger published capacity. Confirm that its 3840W AC rating also covers the starting and continuous load of your appliance.

Can Apex 300 2764.8Wh run a refrigerator?

Its listed AC output is 3840W. If the refrigerator's running and startup demand stay below that limit, the planning estimate at a 60W average load is ~39 hours.

Can Elite 100 V2 run a CPAP overnight?

At a 40W planning load with the humidifier off, the estimate is ~21 hours. Heated tubing or a humidifier can materially increase consumption.

How are the runtime estimates calculated?

Each estimate uses 85% of the nameplate watt-hour capacity, then divides by the stated device load. It is planning math based on specifications, not a measured result.
