Your Power Setup

Keep your fibre router, fridge and laptop running through load shedding.

Start with your fibre router, fridge, lights and laptop and the hours of load shedding you plan for. Calculate battery capacity and output, then check the exact South African version, SANS 164 sockets and start-up power separately.

Your use

An adjustable reference value. When in doubt, measure the real consumption.

Refine calculation

Battery reserve, efficiency and station idle draw are calculation assumptions; other tools on this site can start from different defaults. Leave the starting surge empty if unknown.

Matches use EcoFlow South Africa product pages. Use the calculated target, then verify the exact South African unit, its start-up power and the supplied plug for SANS 164 sockets.

A calculation pre-selection, not a compatibility guarantee. Also check the connection, starting surge and exact regional version.

Why this model?

Meets your calculated battery and power target.

2 048 Wh × 85% efficiency × 80% usable, divided by 65 W.

The starting surge is still unknown; check it separately.

Energy and continuous-power comparison from EcoFlow South Africa product pages. Stock, price, warranty, delivered SKU and socket compatibility are separate checks. Official EcoFlow South Africa gallery model illustration. Where sockets are visible, the artwork shows South African three-round-pin (Type M-style) and two-pin sockets. Gallery images do not prove the sockets, lead or hardware revision of a delivered unit. 3200 W X-Boost is not continuous output, and the South African table gives no surge figure or duration. On 5 October 2026 the standalone unit was not available in the store feed; only the solar-panel bundles were.

The table’s “AC Input Voltage” row repeats the USB-A text, so the AC charging voltage is not confirmed here. No UPS or EPS switchover time is stated on the South African page.

The table lists two 45 W USB-C ports, but the gallery artwork also labels a 140 W USB-C port; confirm the hardware revision. At about 34 kg it is a wheeled unit rather than a carry-around one.

Sources, calculation assumptions and other catalog models

Runtime = battery capacity × efficiency × (1 − battery reserve) ÷ (device consumption + station idle draw). The reserve is battery charge left unused, not extra demand. Solar yield and simultaneous charging are not included. Check those separately in the solar checker. No prices, stock or availability are promised here.

Capacity and continuous output come from EcoFlow South Africa product pages. Compare the local model profiles and check appliance start-up power separately. 0 of them only have a source for another market here; they don't count as a regional match.

Product data and photo credits are per product under “Why this model?” and on the product page. Delivery country: South Africa (ZA); this does not change the technical version check.

Before it is a match

Four checks.
One confident answer.

Battery size is only the beginning. A useful recommendation must last long enough, handle the load, connect correctly and suit the country where it will be used.

  1. Energy

    Will it last?

    Usable capacity covers the runtime you need.

  2. Output

    Can it start?

    Continuous power and startup load both fit.

  3. Connection

    Will it connect?

    The plug, cable and charging path are correct.

  4. Region

    Is it local?

    Voltage, sockets and the regional model match.
