Battery Runtime Calculator

Estimate how long a battery or UPS will run a load from its amp-hour rating, voltage, depth of discharge and inverter efficiency.

Ah
V
Total energy scales with the number of batteries, in series or parallel.
%
Lead-acid ~50%, AGM ~50–60%, LiFePO₄ ~80–90%.
%
Use 100% for a DC load.

Formula

Runtime (h) = Ah × V × DoD × η ÷ Load (W)
