RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 100Wh Battery Run a LED lantern?

Efficiency-adjusted planning estimate with load range, duty cycle and surge check.

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
18.0 hours

Reasonable load range: 9.00 hours to 45.0 hours

Calculation

100Wh × 90% usable efficiency ÷ (5W × 100% duty cycle) = 18.00 hours.

What can change the result

Actual device wattage, battery age, ambient temperature, inverter standby draw, conversion losses, power-factor behavior and cycling frequency can all reduce or extend runtime.

Check output before connecting

The battery or UPS needs at least 10W continuous capability and about 12W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
