THE POWER LAB / RUNTIME ESTIMATOR

Power what matters.

Learn the power basics
Illustrative loads:
ESTIMATED CONTINUOUS RUNTIME14.5hours

1,024 Wh × 85% ÷ 60 W

No solar input or recharging assumed. Not a runtime guarantee. Actual use depends on temperature, battery condition, inverter idle draw, and variable loads.

Check continuous and surge output separately. This estimate does not confirm that a battery can start your appliance. Use manufacturer guidance and a dedicated contingency plan for medical equipment. Fuel generators must remain outdoors, more than 6.1 m / 20 ft from building openings.
