Calculating the exact run time is not precise
due to all the variables and equations involved;
however, an approximate time figure can be
obtained. Proper battery maintenance and
charge cycles affect battery performance.
Observe the battery condition with hydrometer
and voltage readings. Use only distilled water
when filling batteries. To achieve the highest
quality of battery performance and longevity
maintain the batteries in their proper operating
range.
How long will the batteries last?
Conduct this eight-hour test to determine
how long your particular battery bank will
operate before dropping below 50% state of
charge.
1. Before beginning the test, be sure
the batteries are at 100% charge by
verifying with a hydrometer or an
accurate voltmeter.
2. Turn the interior house power on.
Turn on several lights.
3. After the eight-hour period, turn off
the lights, refrigerator and interior
house power. Allow the battery
electrolyte to stabilize for at least one
to three hours.
Test the batteries again with a hydrometer
or voltmeter. Are the batteries above or below
50% State of Charge? This test will give an
idea of how long your particular battery bank
will actually last.
