Preliminary calculator

Battery calculator

Estimate nominal battery-bank capacity from load power, autonomy time, system voltage, efficiency, and depth-of-discharge limits.

Assumptions used by this preliminary calculator

  • Load energy is converted to required nominal battery energy using inverter efficiency and maximum depth of discharge.
  • The recommended Ah value is rounded up to a common battery-bank capacity step for quick planning.
  • Final battery design still requires chemistry, discharge-rate, temperature, charging, and lifecycle review.

Required load energy

4,800 Wh

Energy demanded by the connected load over the configured backup window.

Minimum nominal energy

6,521.74 Wh

Nominal battery energy required after accounting for efficiency and usable depth of discharge.

Minimum nominal capacity

271.74 Ah

Calculated minimum battery-bank ampere-hour requirement.

Recommended battery bank

300 Ah

Rounded planning value based on common battery-bank capacity steps.
