Technical FAQs 4

How long can a 24V inverter run?

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?

How do you calculate inverter usage time?

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.

How to calculate battery life of a 12V inverter?

Divide the available battery capacity for Inverter by the ovelall power consumed by the inverter to get an estimate of the 12v battery life. Battery Running Time = Battery Capacity x 12v x DOD% x Inverter Efficiency / Inverter Rated Power

How do you calculate inverter runtime?

Divide the inverter watts by battery voltage to get the amps, then divide the amps by the inverter efficiency rating. Divide the result by the amps and you get the inverter runtime. An inverter draws its power from the battery so the battery capacity and power load determines how long the inverter will last.
