When the Power Goes Out, Keep the Essentials Running.
Plug-in backup power for Starlink internet, refrigerators, freezers, lights, phones and emergency essentials — no complicated installation for compatible appliances.
How it works
1. Charge it ahead of time
Plug the power station into a wall outlet before a storm so it is full when you need it. You can also recharge from compatible solar panels (sold separately).
2. Unplug the fridge from the wall
When the power goes out, unplug your refrigerator's cord from the wall outlet.
3. Plug it into the power station
Plug the refrigerator into one of the power station's standard 120V household outlets and turn on AC output. No separate inverter or fixed electrical installation is needed for compatible plug-in appliances.

Stay Connected When the Power Goes Out.
Keep Starlink equipment, Wi-Fi, phones, lights and your refrigerator powered during an outage. Start with a charged plug-in power station, then add a manufacturer-matched solar kit if you need a way to recharge after the storm.
What can I keep running?
Internet and devices: Start with our 806Wh / 1,200W M9 or 1,008Wh / 1,800W VEVOR. Refrigerator and Starlink together: Compare the 2,160Wh Q2400Pro and 3,072Wh LW3000. Check each device's actual wattage and starting surge.
Starlink consumption varies by hardware: Mini averages 25–40W; Standard 4 / 4X averages 75–100W; newer V5 hardware averages approximately 35–50W. Figures include the Starlink router/power supply where applicable and reflect Starlink's published average AC power usage. See Starlink power guidance. Use the wattage of the model you actually own.
| Power station | Starlink Mini, 30W example | Starlink Standard 4/4X, 90W example | Refrigerator, 100W average | Fridge + Standard, 190W average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| M6 493Wh + 100W solar | 13.1 hr | 4.4 hr | 3.9 hr | 2.1 hr |
| M9 806Wh | 21.5 hr | 7.2 hr | 6.4 hr | 3.4 hr |
| VEVOR 1,008Wh | 26.9 hr | 9.0 hr | 8.1 hr | 4.2 hr |
| Q2400Pro 2,160Wh | 57.6 hr | 19.2 hr | 17.3 hr | 9.1 hr |
| LW3000 3,072Wh | 81.9 hr | 27.3 hr | 24.6 hr | 12.9 hr |
Estimate, not a promise: Rated watt-hours × 0.80 ÷ average load watts. Real AC losses, refrigeration compressor cycling, ambient heat and simultaneous loads affect runtime. Refrigerators need enough startup/surge capability. The Starlink service itself cannot be guaranteed during a hurricane, even when the equipment remains powered.
Need solar charging? Shop an existing VEVOR Q2400Pro + 200W solar package or M9 + 200W matched kit. Not every kit includes panels; standalone stations do not. Rain, clouds and shading reduce solar generation.

*Runtime estimates assume a refrigerator averaging about 100 watts and about 80% of the battery's rated capacity available as AC power. They are estimates, not guarantees. Actual runtime depends on your refrigerator, room temperature, how often the door is opened, and anything else plugged in.
Capacity vs. output: what's the difference?
Capacity (Wh) = how long it lasts
Watt-hours measure how much energy the battery stores. More watt-hours means your refrigerator and essentials run longer before the station needs recharging.
Output (W) = what it can run
Watts measure how much power the station can deliver at one time. Add up the running watts of everything you plug in and keep the total under the station's output rating.
Refrigerator startup: what to know
A refrigerator's compressor can briefly draw several times its normal running watts each time it starts. Check the label inside your refrigerator for its rated amps or watts, and choose a station whose output comfortably covers that startup moment plus anything else you plan to run at the same time. If you are unsure, start with only the refrigerator plugged in.
Solar charging (optional)
All three stations can recharge from compatible solar panels, which helps during longer outages when the grid is down. Solar panels are not included with any of these power stations and are sold separately.
What's in the box
Each power station ships with its manufacturer's included charging cables and user manual. See each product page for the exact contents.
Emergency-use safety basics
- Battery power stations produce no exhaust and can be used indoors, unlike gas generators.
- Keep the station dry, on a stable surface, and away from heat sources, with room around it for airflow.
- Plug appliances directly into the station's outlets. Never connect a power station to your home's wall outlets or wiring.
- If you need extra reach, use a heavy-duty, properly rated extension cord.
- Recharge the station after each outage so it is ready for the next one.
- Follow the manufacturer's manual for charging, storage and operating temperatures.
Shipping
We currently ship these power stations within the contiguous United States (Lower 48). Delivery is not same-day, so we recommend ordering before storm season or an expected outage.
