Quick answer
Using a planning load of 250W and 85% usable AC energy, the BLUETTI AC70 works out to about 2.6 hours of simple calculated runtime for a desktop computer. The AC70 is rated at 1,000W continuous output, so it clears the basic continuous-wattage check.
What can change the result?
Actual runtime changes with inverter efficiency, battery temperature, state of charge, cable losses, the appliance’s true wattage and — for cycling appliances — how often the compressor or thermostat turns on.
Is the AC70 a sensible size for this job?
Yes, based on continuous watts, but you still need to verify startup surge and the exact device rating.
If this is one of several devices you need at the same time, add their watts together and budget their energy consumption across the full backup window.
Bottom line
The calculated 2.6-hour figure is useful for comparing models, but the right buying decision should be based on the exact desktop computer, the desired reserve, and your ability to recharge the station.
