Portable power runtime calculator

Estimate the usable watt-hours needed for one appliance or a combined steady load. This is a sizing starting point, not a promise of real-world runtime.

Energy used by the load

480 Wh

Indicative battery capacity

565 Wh

Before ageing, temperature, standby and surge allowances.

Three checks the watt-hour result cannot answer

  • Continuous output: the unit must support at least the combined running watts.
  • Starting surge: fridges, pumps and some tools can briefly require much more power.
  • Suitability and safety: do not power medical, heating or safety-critical equipment from a general calculator.

Actual runtime varies with inverter losses, battery management limits, temperature, battery age, load behaviour and manufacturer settings.
