How to read the table

Stay in the 768 Wh row if you need something you can carry in one hand. Stay in the 1 kWh row for a fridge during the day. Move to 2 kWh when the job is overnight food and lights. Outage sizing and fridge hours spell that out with loads.

1 kWh vs 2 kWh

A typical modern fridge uses about 1–2 kWh per day. A 1 kWh station covers part of that day after inverter loss. A 2 kWh station is the first size that can keep a fridge cold overnight and still run a router and lights. That is why the Jackery 2000 v2 and DELTA 2 Max sit in a different class from the four smaller units.
