How to Evaluate Battery Life?

Battery Life evaluator uses Battery Life = Battery Capacity/Battery Output Current to evaluate the Battery Life, Battery Life estimates how long a battery will last, based on nominal battery capacity and the average current that a load is drawing from it. Battery capacity is typically measured in Amp-hours (Ah) or milliamp-hours (mAh), although Watt-hours (Wh) is occasionally used. Battery Life is denoted by BL symbol.

How to evaluate Battery Life using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Battery Life, enter Battery Capacity (C) & Battery Output Current (Io) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Battery Life
