How to Calculate Inverter Battery Backup Time?

Whenever you plan to buy an inverter battery, there is a desire to know some important information in your mind. Like how much will be the backup of the inverter battery, how many hours of backup will be available for how many ah batteries, etc. In this informative information, here you will know the backup time calculation formula. 

 

Backup Time Calculation Formula:

Backup Time = Battery Capacity (in Ah) * Battery Voltage (in V) * Battery Efficiency (in %) / Connected Load (in W/h)

For example:

Case 1: Lead Acid Battery

If you have any capacity of lead acid battery (80Ah to 200Ah), then you can calculate battery backup time as per below example. I have taken here the most popular inverter battery 150Ah battery. When we calculate battery backup time of any type of battery, we ideally use 400-watt home load, so the connected load is 400 watts per hour. Let’s calculate backup time now:

Backup Time = 150Ah * 12V * 0.75 / 400 W

                        = 1350 W / 400 W

                        = 3.3 hrs.

Note: An efficiency of lead acid battery is approx. 70% to 75%

That means, if we run 400-watt home loads on 150Ah inverter battery, then it gives approx. 3 hr. 30 minutes backup time. Depending upon backup time, you can choose battery capacity.

Case 2: Lithium Battery

If you choose a lithium battery for home inverter such as 100Ah, 12.8V, then you can calculate backup time as per above formula. All parameters will be same, let’s know backup time of lithium battery:

Backup Time = 100Ah * 12.8V * 0.98 / 400 W

                        = 1254 W / 400 W

                        = 3.13 hrs.

Note: An efficiency of lithium battery is approx. 95% to 98%.

That means, if we run 400-watt home loads on 100Ah lithium inverter battery, then it gives approx. 3 hr. 15 minutes backup time. Like this example, you can calculate backup time of CAML 100, 5kWh lithium inverter battery.

Coinfx market is a big scam broker, i paid a huge amount of $70,000, they persuaded me, into putting more of my hard earned money with all hope to get profits in return, they won’t allow me to make a withdrawal of my investment, all because all they wanted is to steal my money, i got advised to file a refund case against them, which to my greatest surprise i was able to withdraw my money, i contacted a recovery expert { MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL.COM } and his team of recovery experts, they where able to assist me with the withdrawal of my money, and restore my funds, they are very responsive, and you can reach out to him for help also, i know am not the only one who has fallen victim, people out there might also need this information!

How to calculate backup time of lithium battery. And how to determine capacity of inverter to charge lithium battery?

JOEY AJAINO

but this is how I calculate mine, in lead Acid/tubular battery,
battery (ah) x battery (v) / load… =backup time in hrs

For lithium battery 15kwh/2000w(load) =7.5hrs backup time…
