Battery runtime

Estimate usable running time from voltage, capacity, chemistry and load.

Calculate runtime →

Battery capacity

Turn a daily energy budget into a practical battery-bank baseline.

Size the bank →

Build in the right order

A system, not a shopping list

Audit the loads

List daily watt-hours and peak simultaneous loads before choosing parts.

Choose the architecture

Match voltage, storage and charging to current and cable distance.

Size storage and charging

Plan autonomy, usable depth of discharge and replenishment time.

Verify protection

Check conductors, over-current protection and manufacturer instructions.
