Loads RunTime will estimate
These are planning values from a named source. They are not a clamp-meter reading of the thing you own. If your label disagrees, type your label.
Starlink V5, top of the published average
50 W · AC path · published average
Starlink's comparison of V4 and V5 lists V5 average power consumption as 35–50 W. RunTime uses 50 W, the top of that average, so the plan is not the optimistic end. It is still an average, not your dish on a snowy night.

Starlink Standard 4, top of the published average
100 W · AC path · published average
Starlink's Standard 4 specification sheet lists average power consumption as 75–100 W. RunTime uses 100 W. Snow melt and cold weather can move a real dish inside or outside an average.

ResMed AirSense 11, typical consumption
56.1 W · AC path · published typical
The Americas user guide lists typical power consumption of 56.1 W (111.5 VA) and peak power consumption of 73.2 W (137.6 VA) for the 65 W power supply section. RunTime uses the typical figure. The station's 12 V car port is not a substitute for ResMed's 24 V supply.

Apple 20 W USB-C adapter, rated output
20 W · DC path · adapter rating
Apple's USB-C power adapter guide prints USB-PD output of 5 V at 3 A or 9 V at 2.22 A for several 20 W models. 9 V times 2.22 A is 19.98 W, which Apple sells as 20 W. That is the adapter's ceiling, not the wattage your phone holds for an hour.

What is not in the list
A household fridge or mini-fridge is not here. The compressor cycles, so a single "fridge watt" would be a story. The running watts belong on that model's energy guide or nameplate, and the startup spike is a separate check against the station's surge figure. A laptop and a Wi-Fi router are the same kind of omission unless the adapter or the product page prints a wattage. Type the number you can point at.
A PC on a small UPS is a different calculator. UPS runtime asks for VA as well as watts.
