What is it about?

This is a simple tool to help calculate the estimated run-time* of your battery or battery bank under a given load. By entering the Rated Battery Capacity, measured in amp hours (symbol: Ah) and applied load i.e. Discharge Rate, measured in amperage or amps for short (symbol: A), you can calculate the Actual Battery Capacity at that load plus how much time it takes to discharge to the batteries to safe levels 25% - 50%, (green and yellow) and to the levels at which you may be damaging the battery (orange, red, deep red).
