RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 3,800Wh Battery Run a Pond pump?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
32.3 hours

Reasonable load range: 12.9 hours to 80.8 hours

Calculation

3,800Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (100W × 100% duty cycle) = 32.30 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 400W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
