RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 20,000Wh Battery Run a Security camera?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
2250 hours

Reasonable load range: 1200 hours to 4500 hours

Calculation

20,000Wh × 90% usable efficiency ÷ (8W × 100% duty cycle) = 2250.00 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 15W continuous capability and about 20W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
