Answer key: Battery Life worksheet
Calcapedia 1. Estimated runtime: 6.29 h
Keep only the usable share of the capacity, since some is lost in real use
Divide the usable charge by the current the device draws. This gives the runtime in hours
Write the runtime in days, hours and minutes
For reference, the capacity in watt-hours at this voltage: Wh = mAh × V ÷ 1,000
2. Estimated runtime: 9.26 h
Keep only the usable share of the capacity, since some is lost in real use
Divide the usable charge by the current the device draws. This gives the runtime in hours
Write the runtime in days, hours and minutes
For reference, the capacity in watt-hours at this voltage: Wh = mAh × V ÷ 1,000
3. Estimated runtime: 12.25 h
Keep only the usable share of the capacity, since some is lost in real use
Divide the usable charge by the current the device draws. This gives the runtime in hours
