Power Calculation Basics
A 200Ah solar battery can deliver 200 amperes for 1 hour, 100 amperes for 2 hours, or 10 amperes for 20 hours. The watt-hour capacity depends on the voltage, e.g., 2400Wh at 12V.
Energy Storage Insights
200Ah refers to storage capacity, not energy. Actual usable power can be lower due to efficiency losses. Typically, only 80-90% of stored energy is usable, factoring in inverter and battery inefficiencies.
Powering Household Appliances
A 200Ah battery at 12V can power a 100W appliance for approximately 24 hours. Surprising fact: It could power a 50W LED TV for 48 hours continuously without recharging.
Battery Lifespan Factors
Depth of discharge and charging cycles affect lifespan. Regularly discharging beyond 50% can reduce lifespan significantly, while maintaining partial charge cycles can extend it.
Environmental Impact
Using a 200Ah solar battery reduces reliance on fossil fuels. It can prevent several kilograms of CO2 emissions annually, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious energy consumers.
Unexpected Battery Use
Did you know? A 200Ah battery can power a small fridge for up to 4 days, providing essential cooling during prolonged power outages.
