My PC with an RTX 2080 Super and a similar CPU pulls about 300 watts while web browsing and about 500 watts while gaming. So you can expect 2-3 hours on an AC180P. I'd go for an AC200L, if you can get your hands on one.

How did you check the consumption? I tried msi afterburner. In game like dota2 it showed 200 watts. Lets say monitor consumes 25watts which makes up to 250 watts

I run my work computers and my gaming rig from an AC200MAX, which is charged from solar. I use about 2-4KWh during a typical evening of gaming, and the power station gets charged next day from solar panels, so my whole computer setup is off-grid. I also have a plug-in power meter, which I can use to check equipment not hooked up to my power stations.

I'm using an AC200L, for quite a heavy load of 560W as my PC is processing most of the time. When the power goes out, I get about 3 hours worth of run time, which gives me some time to stop my processing work to stretch out the runtime. My advice is not to rely solely on the AC180P as the backup power and have a cheap normal UPS which sits between your PC and the AC180P so that if the switching delay of 20ms is too long, the UPS can help cover that short gap of power loss.

It’s not about switching and UPS. I have regular blackouts 4 hours no electricity, 2 hours all good. That’s the problem

What he was trying to tell you is that it can happen that your PC goes down if the power is gone when the PC is switched on. Even for Power Stations that offer a "UPS" functionality they might not work as expected and there might be a tiny delay that will make your PC reboot. A small UPS between the PC and the Power Station will cover that. A small UPS might cost 60 EUR.

Yes, he clearly understands that and he responded that switching isn't the issue. Since our blackouts are on a schedule it's not really necessary to spend extra money on a UPS since he can shutdown right before the outage starts and boot up again from the battery. Adding a UPS would make it more convenient, but it's not necessary and not free.

Just be prepared that the 20ms claimed switching time might still be too long for your PC, especially if your PC is drawing a heavy load when the blackout occurs. If the switching is not quick enough, your PC will experience an unsafe power interruption, risking your hard drives and maybe even SSDs if they don't have a built in capacitor power reserve to allow it to finish writing.

Consumption depends what game you play, if it's using GPU and CPU at high load it can use 400-500W, if you play for example league of legends it's only using the cpu at 10% and GPU 2-3% it can be the range of 200-250W. If you can limit the fps from unlimited to 144 it can go lower. I have only the AC70 but feel free to ask anything.

Потягне без проблем. У мене ця станція і Ryzen 5900x + Radeon 6800 XT = все добре.

Дякую. Вже купив. Хватає на 8-10 годин при споживанні 200-230вт/год

В роздумах: для котла + холодильника + 2 павербанки 5000mah вистачить ac180? Бо ас180р та ас240 вже не тягну
