This is a great deal on a lifepo4 power station. For those needing to run a cpap or diesel heater, this would last for quite a few days.


I can’t vouch for the 1488wh unit, but I have a smaller version and it has worked fine so far.
 
will it really run a diesel heater?
Sure it can deliver the amps to run it for a duration. But you need to be realistic about power consumption vs watt hours on these things. Take the 12v fridge/freezers for example they pull more over 24hrs than some folks acknowledge so if you aren’t recharging the battery (solar, vehicle, etc) then it’ll drain the capacity out.

Power management is dynamic. Esp over multiple days.
 
report back, please.
This isn’t overly complicated. It WILL run it, it’s a question of how long. How many amps / watts does the one you’re looking at pull when running? From there you need to estimate how long/often you think it will run in your application.

If it’s 30watts then best case 1488/30=49.6 hrs approx of run time. Plug in other things it’s less. Recharge it then more.
 
Complete greenhorn on the subject- can you set up a solar panel/panels, to feed it while in use? Could you do this and theoretically keep it from ever exhausting its charge? I do understand that the load would play a huge part in this equation.
