Will the Anker 535 PowerHouse run a mini fridge?
Yes — the 535 PowerHouse runs a mini fridge comfortably
Its 500W continuous output easily covers the 60W draw, with 1000W of surge on tap for startup.
How we calculated this
We start from the Anker 535 PowerHouse's 392 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 512 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the mini fridge's 60W draw:
392 Wh ÷ 60 W ≈ 6.5 hours
Heads up: a mini fridge is a motor/compressor load that spikes 2–3× on startup. The Anker 535 PowerHouse's 500W continuous / 1000W surge output has plenty of headroom for that spike.
Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
