Electrical power/ CALCULATOR

Battery runtime from a steady load

Estimate ideal runtime from nominal energy, usable fraction, inverter efficiency and load.

Use the rated energy capacity of the battery bank.
Keep the intended reserve outside this fraction.
Average load during the runtime period.
Combined delivery efficiency for this estimate.
Energy delivered to load

7.20 kWh

Ideal runtime

14.40 h

Constant load and efficiency with the stated usable fraction. Temperature, ageing, standby consumption, peaks, battery-management cutoffs and capacity-rate effects are excluded.

FROM ESTIMATE TO ACTION

Use the result, not just the number.

01

Verify the inputs

Measure or document each input. If a value is only an estimate, record its source and test a conservative alternative.

02

Keep the calculation traceable

Save the input link or copied result together with the date, units and assumptions. A number without its inputs cannot be checked later.

03

Confirm the decision

Compare the estimate with the related guide, current product data and requirements that apply at your location before buying or building.

Inputs to verify
