RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 12,000Wh Battery Run a Transfer pump?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
28.3 hours

Reasonable load range: 17.0 hours to 56.7 hours

Calculation

12,000Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (600W × 60% duty cycle) = 28.33 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 1000W continuous capability and about 1500W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
