What to Know About the Portable Projector
Power Profile
Portable projectors are electronic loads with low inrush compared to motors and compressors. The conservative parent profile is 200W continuous at 120V based on the highest sourced variant in this set.
Real-World Usage
For outdoor movie sessions, runtime is determined by battery capacity and derate, not surge handling. Most mid-range stations pass power checks; capacity decides session length.
Pro Tip
USB-C powered projector paths can be more efficient than AC adapter paths when the station provides sufficient USB-C PD output.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many power stations can run a Portable Projector?
Out of 33 portable power stations we tested, 33 can safely run a Portable Projector (33 with full safety margin, 0 at tight margin). 0 are incompatible.
What specs should I look for to run a Portable Projector?
Your power station needs at least 200W continuous output and 200W surge capacity. We recommend a safety buffer of 15% above these minimums for reliable operation.
How do we test compatibility?
Every pairing is evaluated using our True Surge protocol: we compare OEM-verified running watts, surge watts, and voltage requirements against each power station's published specs, with load-profile-specific safety buffers applied. Read our full methodology.
Can a portable power station run a portable projector for movie night?
Yes. This device profile is 200W at 120V with low startup surge, so any compatible power station must first clear that power threshold; battery capacity then determines how long your movie session lasts.
