How long will a BLUETTI AC180 run a flat-screen tv?
Estimated runtime: 7.4 h – 8.9 h
This estimate uses the BLUETTI AC180's published 1,152 Wh capacity, an assumed 85% inverter/conversion efficiency, and a typical flat-screen tv draw of 110–133 W.
The math
1,152 Wh × 0.85 = ~979 usable Wh. ÷ 133 W = 7.4 h; ÷ 110 W = 8.9 h.
Where the appliance wattage comes from
DOE typical wattage table: flat screen 120 W, 19-inch 65–110 W, 36-inch 133 W. We use 110–133 W.
