How long will a BLUETTI AC180 run a laptop?
Estimated runtime: 19.6 h
This estimate uses the BLUETTI AC180's published 1,152 Wh capacity, an assumed 85% inverter/conversion efficiency, and a typical laptop draw of 50–50 W.
The math
1,152 Wh × 0.85 = ~979 usable Wh. ÷ 50 W = 19.6 h.
Where the appliance wattage comes from
DOE typical wattage table lists a laptop at 50 W. Many modern laptops draw less when idle.
