Frequently asked questions

What is the basic runtime formula?

Hours ≈ usable Ah / average current.

Why does it include efficiency?

To apply a simple reduction for system losses.

Why does it include usable capacity?

Because using 100% of the rated capacity is not always desirable or possible.

Is that an exact prediction?

No. It is an idealized estimate. Actual battery life depends on many factors.
