 HOW TO
Calculate Your Equipment's Daily Load

Equipment Power Draw Shown in DC Amps

1.25 Amp continous (24 hours/day) load at 12 Volts DC (VDC)

DC Voltage 12VDC
Listed Equipment Power Draw 1.25 Amps
Duty Cycle 24 Hours

1.25 X 24 = 30 amp-hours per day (Ah/day) @ 12VDC

Equipment Power Draw Shown in Watts

50 Watts continous (24 hours/day) load at 12 Volts DC (VDC)

Equipment Wattage Draw  50 Watts 
Duty Cycle  24 Hours 
50 X 24 = 1200 watt-hours (wh/day)

Watt Hours Per Day (wh/day) 1200 wh/day
Desired System Voltage 12VDC
1200 wh/day /12VDC = 100 amp-hours per day (Ah/day) @ 12VDC
