Ormaven · Power and backup

How long can your power station run?

Add up to three groups of devices running at once. Account for conversion losses and a battery reserve, and check against the station's continuous output rating. Results assume constant power draw.

Estimated result

Results appear on page load.

Estimated usable Wh = rated Wh × efficiency fraction × (1 − reserve fraction). Runtime hours = usable Wh / combined constant wattage.

What to know

Limits of the estimate

  • Actual losses vary by AC/DC connection, inverter efficiency, temperature, battery age and idle consumption. Efficiency and reserve are your assumptions.
  • Check both continuous and surge output ratings: motors and compressors may draw more at startup. This tool checks continuous watts only.
  • Not a guarantee or a basis for life-critical backup. Actual device load may vary over time.
