DETERMINING BATTERY SIZE
The power inverter will require DEEP CYCLE lead acid batteries of appropriate
capacity.The automotive SLI (Starting/lighting/Ignition) battery is not designed
for repeated deep discharge. The SLI battery may not supply enough energy
and its service life may be reduced.
To determine the minimum battery size that you will need to operate appliances,
follow these steps:
1. Determine the AC wattage of each appliance and / or tool you will need to
simultaneously operate from the inverter. To do this, read the labels on the
equipment to be operated. Usually, power consumption is shown in Watts. If it is
shown in Amps, multiply by 120 to determine the AC wattage.
2. For each appliance, estimate the number of hours the appliance will be in use
between battery recharges.
3. For each appliance, determine the Watt-Hours of energy required by multiplying
the AC wattage by the number of hours of use.
4. Add the Watt-Hours of energy for each appliance to get the total Watt-Hours of
energy for all appliances to be used.
5. Divide the total Watt-Hours of energy on the AC side by 10 to get the total Ampere-
Hour of energy on the 12 VDC side to support the operation of the appliances.
6. The Ampere-Hour (AH) capacity of the battery should be 2 times the total
Ampere-Hour energy required on the 12 VDC side to support the operation of the
devices (as calculated at step 5 above). Two times factor is necessary because
batteries are normally not discharged below 50% capacity.
