How many hours per day will my battery be able to run for until it needs to be recharged?

What is the total number of watts needed to power and run all your appliances and devices?*

(e.g. 180 watts)

What number of hours do you plan to run your appliances for each day?*

(e.g. 2.5 hours)

What is the battery voltage of your appliances and devices?*

(e.g. 12V)

What is the battery power of your battery? (e.g. 100Ah)*

You can find this in your battery's user manual.
