How long will the Anker SOLIX F3800 run your appliances?

Last reviewed 2026-10-26

Quick answer

The Anker SOLIX F3800 (3,840 Wh) runs a full-size fridge for about 2.3 days (54 h), a CPAP for about 3.9 days (93 h) and a Wi-Fi router for about 11.3 days (272 h) on its AC outlets. Its 6,000 W output easily covers the brief surge of about 1,200 W when a fridge starts.

What the Anker SOLIX F3800 can't run

Every appliance in our list fits within its 6,000 W continuous output.

Charging the Anker SOLIX F3800 with solar

The Anker SOLIX F3800 accepts up to 2,400 W of solar. Panels usually deliver about 75% of their rating, so it takes around 3,200 W of panels to max that out. Then a full charge from empty needs about 1 h 36 min of peak sun, which a single sunny day can cover. Smaller panels take proportionally longer. Try other panel sizes in the solar recharge time calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How long will the Anker SOLIX F3800 run a refrigerator?
About 2.3 days (54 h) for a typical full-size fridge averaging 60 W, or 1.5–3.4 days depending on the model, room temperature and how often the door opens. Its 6,000 W output easily covers the brief surge of about 1,200 W when a fridge starts.
Can the Anker SOLIX F3800 run a CPAP overnight?
Yes. A CPAP without a heated humidifier averages about 35 W, so the Anker SOLIX F3800 runs it for about 3.9 days (93 h): roughly 11 nights of 8 hours on the AC outlets. Using a DC cable instead of the AC outlet stretches that further. Turning on the heated humidifier cuts runtime sharply.
Can the Anker SOLIX F3800 run a space heater?
Yes, but not for long: a 1,500 W heater on high empties it in about 2 h 11 min. Heating a room is one of the worst uses of battery power. An electric blanket uses a fraction of the energy.
How long does the Anker SOLIX F3800 take to charge with solar?
Its solar input tops out at 2,400 W. With about 3,200 W of panels in strong sun, a full 0–100% charge takes roughly 1 h 36 min of peak sun. Smaller panels, clouds or a low sun angle take proportionally longer.
How much of the Anker SOLIX F3800's 3,840 Wh can I actually use?
On the AC outlets, plan on about 85%, or roughly 3,264 Wh. The rest is lost turning battery power into household AC. The DC and USB ports skip that step and deliver a little more.
