Quick Compatibility Check
- 1 0 of 3 models are compatible with the SOLIX C800 Plus.
- 2 Model requirements range from 690W to 860W running watts.
- 3 See the model-specific results table for per-model verdicts.
What To Do Instead
- 1 Install a soft-starter: Reduces the Dehumidifier (70 Pint)'s startup surge from 3335W to ~1501W, within the SOLIX C800 Plus's 1600W surge capacity.
- 2 Or size up: Without a soft-starter, you need at least 4169W surge capacity (3335W × 25% buffer).
- 3 No-install alternative: The Explorer 2000 Plus (6000W surge) handles the full 3335W startup natively — no soft-starter needed.

| Midea EasyDry MDP70SR71 (70 Pint) | 690W | 3,335W | Fail | — | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Voltage:** 120V AC required. **Running load:** 690W. **Surge:** 3335W at startup (compressor-driven). Only power stations with inverter surge capacity ≥3335W and continuous output ≥690W are candidates. Field note: Verify the power station's surge window duration. Short-duration surge ratings may not accommodate refrigerant compressor startup transients reliably. Can I run this dehumidifier on a portable power station overnight? Only if your power source can supply at least 690W continuous and 3335W surge at 120V. It depends on the station's surge capacity and battery size. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 690 W. **Surge demand:** 3,335 W at compressor start. Requires 120V AC output. Power station must deliver the full surge envelope without tripping overcurrent protection. Field note: Ensure your power station's inverter can handle the 3,335 W surge without shutdown. Verify outlet capacity exceeds continuous draw. Can I run this dehumidifier on a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 690W continuous and 3335W surge at 120V. Most portable units cannot meet the surge requirement. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 860W. **Surge:** 2580W at startup. Requires 120V AC output. Power station must sustain 860W continuous and handle 2580W compressor inrush without tripping. Field note: Size the power station to at least 125% of running load (1075W minimum output) to avoid nuisance shutdowns during concurrent household draw. Can I run this dehumidifier overnight on a portable power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 860W continuous and 2580W surge at 120V. Most portable units lack sufficient capacity for full-day basement moisture control. | |||||

Startup Surge Visual
Startup Surge
Dehumidifier (70 Pint) vs SOLIX C800 Plus
Startup surge exceeds the power station limit. A soft starter may resolve the surge gap.
With Soft Starter
Dehumidifier (70 Pint) vs SOLIX C800 Plus
Soft start reduces the startup spike and can bring the load under the surge limit.
⚡ Soft-Starter Required
The Dehumidifier (70 Pint)'s startup surge (3335W) exceeds this generator's capacity. A soft-starter can reduce inrush current by ~55%, bringing surge down to approximately 1501W.

Before You Buy: Connection Check
Installation warning
These systems are often hardwired to a home panel. To run them from a portable station, you may need a transfer switch installed by an electrician. You cannot just plug it in.
No-Install Alternatives to SOLIX C800 Plus
Prefer not to install a soft starter on Dehumidifier (70 Pint)? These generators can start this load natively.

Generator Insights
The 1600W surge rating can support startup sequences for refrigerator compressors, well pumps, and similar inductive motor loads that draw 25 to 33 percent over running current during initial engagement. Once running, the 1200W continuous output can handle typical kitchen appliances, electronics, and power tools within rated limits. This combination addresses both inrush events and sustained runtime needs in backup scenarios.
This unit uses LFP chemistry, a battery architecture chosen for thermal stability in consumer power stations. The 768Wh capacity and 1200W continuous output allow sustained operation without thermal stress under typical residential loads. Source: Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Tech Specs (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 860 W continuous. Surge demand: 3335 W at compressor startup. Voltage: 120 V AC required. Power station must handle the surge margin and sustain the load for the intended duration.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~0.6h. Operates 24 hours per day drawing approximately 20640 Wh daily. Compressor cycles cause brief high-current transients during startup then settles to steady draw.
Field Note
Verify the power station inverter rating exceeds 3335 W surge capacity. Undersized units will trip during compressor kick-in.
