35 to 96 W USB-C power adapters sold with MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops.

What decides the size you need

A laptop adapter draws 35 to 96 W, so the smallest station, the 128 Wh BLUETTI Elite 10 Mini, keeps one going for 1.1 h to 3.1 h, and all 81 stations can supply the load. The figures cover the 35 to 96 W USB-C adapters sold with MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops. The long end belongs to a light laptop on a 35 W adapter. At 286 Wh the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus lists 2.5 h to 6.9 h, and the EcoFlow DELTA 2 (1,024 Wh) lists 9.1 h to 25 h. The Jackery HomePower 3000 (3,072 Wh) lists 27 h to 3 days.
