Determine your Watts (Amps * Volts)—

every electronic will have a sticker or plate

identifying the watts directly (W) or will show you the voltage value (V) as well as amperage

(A) which need to be multiplied to get Watts. The formula is below:

Sizing your Battery Bank

Battery types and capacity relate to overall inverter performance. To size a battery bank, you

need to identify the loads that you will be utilizing, as well as an estimate (hours/day) you will be

using the load. The inverter is only compatible with 12V battery banks and oversizing should be

considered due to efficiency losses.

NOTE

You will need a battery charging source as this is a non-charging inverter and will

only work to deplete the battery.

A 115Ah battery bank, or close, will be able to support a 12-hour run time while also prolonging

battery life for the best system size possible.

NOTE

This is an example and actual quantities vary by battery capacity and rates of

discharge.

Watts (W) = Volts (V) * Amps (A)

Fan Watts = 120V * 0.4A = 48Watts

Estimate Load Run-Time in Watt-Hours (Wh)—

Estimate how many hours per day you

will be using the load and multiply this by your Watts per load.

Fan Watts * 12 hours = Watt-Hour (Wh)

46W * 12h = 576Wh

Determine Battery Capacity in Amp-Hour (Ah)—

Divide your Load Run Watt-Hour result

by the battery voltage. This inverter is 12V, so we will use this as the reference:

Load Run-Time (Wh) / Battery Voltage (V) = Amp-Hour (Ah)

576Wh / 12V = 48 Ah

Oversize the Battery—

The calculated Amp-Hour value represents the minimum size

battery capacity to run your load for your intended time. Note that this assumes 100% use

of a battery, which is not recommended. Assuming 50% depth of discharge (DoD), you

want to divide by this value and then multiply by a factor of 1.25 to account for some

efficiency losses.

(Amp-Hour / DoD%) * Efficiency Losses = Recommended Amp-Hour

(48Ah / 50% DoD) * 1.2 = Approx. 115Ah
