RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 16,000Wh Battery Run a Refrigerator?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
259 hours

Reasonable load range: 155 hours to 486 hours

Calculation

16,000Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (150W × 35% duty cycle) = 259.05 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 250W continuous capability and about 1200W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
