How long will the Bluetti AC50B Portable Power Station run a 12v cooler / fridge?
Will the Bluetti AC50B Portable Power Station run a 12v cooler / fridge?
Yes — the AC50B Portable Power Station runs a 12v cooler / fridge comfortably
Its 700W continuous output easily covers the 45W draw, with 1000W of surge on tap for startup.
How we calculated this
We start from the Bluetti AC50B Portable Power Station's 343 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 448 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the 12v cooler / fridge's 45W draw:
343 Wh ÷ 45 W ≈ 7.6 hours
Heads up: a 12v cooler / fridge is a motor/compressor load that spikes 2–3× on startup. The Bluetti AC50B Portable Power Station's 700W 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.
