RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 7,800Wh Battery Run a Garage door opener?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
265 hours

Reasonable load range: 166 hours to 442 hours

Calculation

7,800Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (500W × 5% duty cycle) = 265.20 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 800W continuous capability and about 1200W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
