RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 3,600Wh Battery Run a Electric gate opener?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
204 hours

Reasonable load range: 102 hours to 408 hours

Calculation

3,600Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (300W × 5% duty cycle) = 204.00 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 600W continuous capability and about 800W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
