RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 18,000Wh Battery Run a Refrigerator?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
291 hours

Reasonable load range: 175 hours to 546 hours

Calculation

18,000Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (150W × 35% duty cycle) = 291.43 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.
