Default RE: Calculating Run Time

If you would like to calculate it yourself, the formula is:



Current consumption and battery capacity must use the same units of current. It battery capacity is expressed in mAh, then current consumption must be expressed in mA.

Example:
battery capacity is 2000 mAh
power system draws 25A = 25,000mA

2000/25000 x 60 = 4.8 minutes
