Question 1

What is the formula to calculate backup time for an AC load?

Backup Time = (Capacity * Voltage * Efficiency * DoD) / Load Power
Backup Time = (Load Power) / (Capacity * Voltage * Efficiency)
Backup Time = (Voltage * Capacity * Load Power) / Efficiency

💡 Hint: Focus on identifying what each variable represents.

Question 2

True or False: Depth of Discharge allows for maximizing battery lifespan.

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about the effects of completely draining a battery.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A community center relies on a 24V battery bank (100Ah) to power its lighting (loads of 300W). Calculate the backup time considering a 70% system efficiency.

💡 Hint: Calculate the usable energy first, then find how long it can power the lighting.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a battery can supply 600W for a load but has a total capacity of 200Ah at 12V. What is the maximum time this battery can last with a 50% DoD?

💡 Hint: Account for DoD in your calculations.
