How should I size the battery and do you have any comments or suggestions on the inverter I would use. BatteryStuff Tech 0. Therefore 10 lights will be Watts total per hour. A Watt inverter will struggle with this power. For a battery recommendation I would at least double this number…so any AGM battery bank rated with Amp Hours or more is my recommendation. More is needed for flooded batteries.
The lamp is rated 23 watts and then also rated 0. Can you explain the discrepancy.. Since they are self-ballasted is the difference the ballast? Are we looking at a starting current demand vs a run wattage rating? If so, how does this affect the calculations. My suspicion is that the. Given the uncertainty, I would use the highest power rating to make my calculations from which I did in my previous comment.
BatteryStuff Tech If you use all three batteries to create a single battery bank, then I would advise against it. When you bank them together, they behave as one battery. The contrast of battery capacities will cause an uneven charge and discharge cycle.
Knowledge Base Home. Copy Link. This is typically found on the device you are running; for light bulbs it will be in watts and you need divide by the voltage you are running in-typically 12 volts.
Other DC devices should be rated in amperage. For our example we are running a 12 volt 15 amp swamp cooler. If you want your load to run for 5 hours, put 5 as in our example shown here. For our example, it is above 85 deg.
F, so check the box. Example The fourth field is to adjust for the age of the battery being considered. Since the greatest usage of the calculator is to figure out what battery to buy, usually the box will be left unchecked, as in our example, but it is there in case the batteries available are older. Example The next three fields are for selecting what battery type you are going to use.
For our example we select the AGM Battery. Example The final Field is where the calculator waves its magic wand and tells you what you need. This number is rounded to the nearest whole number, and will tell you what battery Amp Hour rating to look for in the selected battery type.

BatteryStuff Tech This calculator is for sizing a 12v lead acid battery to an amp load. Steve I have a 7" portable tv with a 10watt max power consumption. BatteryStuff Tech If this is a 12v 10 watt device then you would basically be getting an additional day by going to a 35 AH battery. Ray Haws I have a watt inverter I have a 5amp load votts.
Cheers All the gear and no idea!!! Is my favourite saying…. Thank you again for the calculator resource. Regards, AH. Ola Hello, Kindly shed light on my query. BatteryStuff Tech AH. Please refer to this article for more details. Thanks Neeraj. Admin lease email your question to tech batterystuff. I plan on using a watt inverter to power this project..
Thank you for your assistance. Inverters will draw power from your batteries when not in use , and the unit is turned on. This can vary from around. A decent fridge around that size under 30 degrees ambient temperature shouldn't use more than around 30 - 40 amp hours a day. The lifetime of inverters in household installations is about 10 years. On average, during the lifetime of solar panels, the inverter should be replaced once. The life expectancy of an inverter depends on its environment.
Typical Uses. Most power inverters under watts can be connected to a vehicle's battery through the DC cigarette lighter plug on the dashboard. Inverters normally have one or more standard outlets to power laptops, small-screen TVs, video game players or portable DVD players and other devices. A small and quiet Honda or Yamaha generator could run the air conditioner all day and night as long as you have gas to put in the tank.
Back to your question Yes, a watt inverter would have a better chance. I read on a few websites that startup loads can be 3 to 7 times the rated running watts. Consider that you need a battery that provides back up for 3 hours. Therefore a battery with a capacity of Ah will work for you. How do you calculate how long a battery will last on an inverter?
Category: automotive auto parts. To determine how long your battery will last , calculate the battery's total capacity and divide it by your circuit's power. Multiply the battery's reserve capacity by Will a watt inverter run a refrigerator?
Because of the above, I would revise the comfortable running time down to 10 hours. How do you know how much capacity is left in your Ah battery?
There is a rough relationship between lead-acid terminal voltage , at least, good enough for an estimate of how much power you have left. The calculator below finds the run time for appliances running on 12V DC supplied from a deep-cycle Ah battery. Enter the wattage and see the run time:. Calculating run time for AC appliances is a bit more complex, because an inverter will be used and also some AC appliances have compressors installed.
The calculator below doesn't account for refrigerators and similar appliances freezers, air conditioning, heat pumps as I covered that quite extensively earlier on in the post:.
A Ah 12 volt deep-cycle lead-acid battery will power a W AC fridge for 30 hours, drawing power at a rate of 40 watts per hour. A Ah battery will run a W DC appliance for 1 hour. An AC appliance rated at W will only run for 0. A Ah lead acid deep-cycle battery will run a 30lbs thrust trolling motor on Speed 4 for 4 hours.
It's often said that a Ah amp-hours battery can deliver 1 amps for hours or amps for 1 hour. This is not really an accurate description of battery operation.
Batteries should never be discharged completely so the rated capacity isn't available for use. When higher currents are drawn the battery capacity reduces significantly , so the amps vs hours relationship isn't linear at all.
