RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 18,000Wh Battery Run a 12V electric cooler?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
450 hours

Reasonable load range: 300 hours to 675 hours

Calculation

18,000Wh × 90% usable efficiency ÷ (60W × 60% duty cycle) = 450.00 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 90W continuous capability and about 120W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
