Estimated backup time

1.9 hours

The usable energy under your assumptions is about 0.77 kWh.

Nominal energy1.8 kWh
Usable energy0.77 kWh
Connected load400 W

Keep in mind

Real backup time can be lower due to ageing, temperature and high discharge rates.

Do not exceed the inverter or battery manufacturer's current limits.

How this estimate works

A simple formula, visible assumptions

Hours = voltage × Ah × DoD × efficiency ÷ load watts.

The result updates in your browser as you change an input. It is a planning estimate, so compare it with real bills, product specifications and a qualified professional's assessment.
