❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Will a MARBERO Portable Power Station 88Wh run a Mini Fridge?
No. The MARBERO Portable Power Station 88Wh cannot reliably run a Mini Fridge. The appliance requires 300W surge to start, but the station only surges to 120W. Usable capacity is 75Wh, which would yield 1.2 hours if the appliance could run.
How long will a MARBERO Portable Power Station 88Wh power a Mini Fridge?
Even if the MARBERO Portable Power Station 88Wh could run a Mini Fridge, its 75Wh usable capacity divided by the appliance’s 65W draw would only yield 1.2 hours. However, since the station cannot handle the starting surge, the appliance will not run at all. Consider a station with 360W+ capacity.
