Battery Life Calculator

Estimate how long a battery lasts.

Calculated Output

Battery life 12.75

Formula: hours = capacity ÷ draw × efficiency

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Battery capacity = 3,000 mAh

3. Current draw = 200 mA

4. Efficiency = 85 %

6. Battery life = 12.75

Did this calculator solve your problem today?

The math behind it

hours = capacity (mAh) ÷ draw (mA) × efficiency. Efficiency accounts for real-world losses.

3000 mAh ÷ 200 mA × 85% → 12.75 h.

Why efficiency?

Voltage conversion and heat waste some capacity.
