Dabbsson · Mid-size (600 to 1,499 Wh)

Dabbsson DBS1300

A mid-size unit, 1,330 Wh, 1,200 W (2,400 surge), 36 lb, $599 $899 at Dabbsson, checked Oct 11, 2026 ($0.45 per Wh). By our sizing it holds a night of CPAP, a day in an RV and a laptop and two phones, but not a day of home backup, two nights of camping or a working day in a van.

From the maker's published figures and our own calculations; we have not tested it ourselves.

Should you buy it?

Buy it for: a night of CPAP (a CPAP with its humidifier for one 8-hour night); a day in an RV (a day of RV lights, TV, phones and a laptop); a laptop and two phones (a laptop for six hours and two phone charges).

Not for: a day of home backup (too little capacity: needs 2,323 Wh and 1,351 W at startup); two nights of camping (too little capacity: needs 2,066 Wh and 157 W at startup); a working day in a van (too little capacity: needs 1,674 Wh and 189 W at startup).

Choose it for 322 Wh more battery and room for extra batteries: $213 more than the Dabbsson 1000L.

Choose the Dabbsson 1000L instead if you want the most battery for the money: $0.38 per Wh against $0.45, $213 less, 12 lb lighter; you give up 322 Wh of battery.

About 1,131 Wh reaches the AC outlets after the 0.85 loss allowance (an estimate, not a measurement). At $0.45 per watt-hour, compare its cost with the charging speed and carry weight you need. It stores 36.9 Wh per pound. We list 32 other models in its size class; the four nearest in capacity are compared below.

What it runs, and for how long

Hours = capacity × 0.85 ÷ device watts, with the draws from the device table.

"Yes" means its continuous output covers the draw and its surge rating covers the startup figure we use, by arithmetic on ratings, not a test. Startup figures: the CPAP with its humidifier, 104 W at startup, from ResMed's peak figure; the refrigerator, 1,300 W startup allowance, from a larger 27 cu ft Whirlpool's tech sheet. Your own appliance's label or manual has its own.

Before using the battery's cycle rating to judge value, read what LiFePO4 versus NMC means for lifespan and weight.

What the output figures mean for your devices: running and surge watts, and what a 15 ms switchover means if you use it as a UPS.
