How Long Will a Battery Last with an Inverter? Calculate Your
An inverter battery lasts about 5 to 10 hours when fully charged. The backup time depends on the battery capacity and the load, which is the total energy consumption.
As a simple rule, to calculate how long a 12v deep-cycle battery will last with an inverter multiply battery amp-hours (Ah) by 12 to find watt-hours, and divide by the load watts to find run time hours. Finally, multiply run time hours by 95% to account for inverter losses. Introduction to Solar Power Battery Inverters – What Do Inverters Do?
Regardless of the size, the calculation steps are always the same. Using this calculation, a 24V inverter with a 100ah battery and 93% efficiency can run a 500W load for 2.3 hours. You have a 24V inverter with a 150ah deep cycle battery. The inverter is 93% efficient. You want to run a 700 watt load, so how long can the inverter run this?
Our 48V Battery Run Time Calculator takes the guesswork out of battery runtime estimation. Just enter your battery capacity, power requirements, and system efficiency to get an accurate estimate of your runtime. This calculator helps you determine how long a 48V battery system will run under specific load conditions.
To calculate the usage time of an inverter, multiply the battery capacity by 12 (to convert Ah to Wh assuming a 12V battery), then multiply by the inverter efficiency, and finally divide by the load power. What is Inverter Usage Time? Inverter usage time refers to the duration an inverter can supply power to a load before the battery is depleted.
