Why does the Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus lead for a hair dryer?

The F3800 Plus suits a buyer with heavy or 240V loads who keeps a large unit in one place. Output runs at 6,000 W, with 120V and 240V. It grows with up to six 3.84 kWh expansion batteries. Its TT-30 RV port fits an RV hookup. Panels can send it up to 3,200 W. AC charging input runs at 1,800 W. It weighs 136.7 lb, so shifting it is hard work, though it has wheels.

In this section, work out the runtime numbers from an assumed 85% of the listed capacity. Multiplying 3,840 Wh by 0.85 gives 3,264.0 Wh of usable energy. A 100 W load runs for about 32.6 hours from that energy. Per pound, it holds about 28.1 Wh. That is 3,840 Wh over 136.7 lb.
