Battery/Appliance Operating Times Calculator

Amp Hour (Ah) indicates the battery's storage capacity over a 20 hour period.  To determine how many constant Amps the battery can output for 20 hours, divide the Ah rating by 20.  For example, if you have a 200Ah battery, it can deliver 10 Amps for 20 hours before it is fully discharged (200 ÷ 20 = 10).

To estimate how long a battery/appliance combination will operate together, use this handy calculator.
