RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 2,800Wh Battery Run a Two-way radio charger?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
119 hours

Reasonable load range: 47.6 hours to 298 hours

Calculation

2,800Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (20W × 100% duty cycle) = 119.00 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 50W continuous capability and about 60W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
