RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 550Wh Battery Run a Window air conditioner?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
31 minutes

Reasonable load range: 20 minutes to 56 minutes

Calculation

550Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (900W × 100% duty cycle) = 0.52 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 1400W continuous capability and about 1800W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
