How long does it take for a 12v 100A inverter to discharge
In idle status, it may use around 10W, causing a discharge in about 5 days. Always check your inverter's power rating and idle power consumption for accurate calculations. . How long does it take to completely discharge the battery? Let's begin by calculating the total energy capacity of the battery which is simply 12 x 100 = 1200 Wh. Because of the inverter's inefficiency and to deal with the initial load current, a good rule of thumb is to add 20%. . For instance, a 1500W inverter may operate for around 12 hours on a fully charged 12V battery. These factors include the items you have plugged into both. .
