## FAQ
**Can it replace a generator on a construction site?** For most tools up to 3,680 W, yes. Zero exhaust emissions, one-person carry, 20,000 W peak for motor start-up. Runtime is limited by the 2 kWh battery; 2 extra battery units supported; recharge in 1.5 h.

**How long does it run?** Roughly battery energy ÷ average load: ~1 h at a constant 2,000 W, ~2 h at 1,000 W, before conversion losses. Tools rarely draw full power continuously, so real jobs last longer.

**Which model for the UK or EU?** UK 110 V site tools: PT3600. UK standard plugs: PT3600K. EU Schuko: PT3600E.

**Can it be used as backup power?** Yes, EPS with 20 ms transfer time.

**Life-cycle cost:** 55% lower (Ampace figure).
