RUNTIME ESTIMATE

How Long Will a 950Wh Battery Run a Garage door opener?

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

ESTIMATED RUNTIME
32.3 hours

Reasonable load range: 20.2 hours to 53.8 hours

Calculation

950Wh × 85% usable efficiency ÷ (500W × 5% 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 800W continuous capability and about 1200W surge capability. Watt-hours alone do not prove compatibility.
