Specs
How long does it last when it's being used?. The specs say 1500 V-A, 900 watts, 890 joules, max run time half load 13 min., full load 2 minutes, but the picture of the box says 221 minutes of runtime*. Please explain with specific examples. Thanks.
Answered by TechSupportHello, The LX1500GU3 will provide 221 minutes of runtime at 3-5 watts. At 50 watts using a small TV or modem/router you will get 172 minutes of runtime. At 100 watts for a laptop and monitor for example you will get 83 minutes of runtime! A full desktop PC with monitor and peripherals you can expect 36 minutes of runtime at 200 watts. Great question!
