About this calculator

This calculator estimates how long a battery will run a given load from its capacity in amp-hours (Ah), voltage, load in watts, and usable depth of discharge (since most batteries shouldn't be fully drained). It converts capacity and voltage into usable watt-hours, then divides by the load to get runtime.

Off-grid solar users, RV and boat owners, and anyone sizing a backup battery for electronics use it to check whether a battery will last long enough before it needs recharging. Enter the capacity, voltage, load, and depth of discharge to get the runtime in hours and minutes.
