Pump Battery Calculator — Calculate Pump Run Time & Battery Life

Pump Battery Calculator

Calculate how long your battery will power a water pump. Determine run time based on pump power, battery capacity, voltage, and efficiency factors for optimal system design.

Understanding Pump Power

Pump power consumption varies with flow rate and pressure. Higher efficiency pumps use less battery power. Most submersible pumps range from 50W to 1500W.

About Battery Life

Depth of Discharge (DoD) affects battery lifespan. Lead-acid batteries should not be discharged below 50%, while lithium can handle 80-90% discharge without damage.

Run Time Breakdown

Run Time Calculation Formula

Run Time (hours) = (Battery Ah × DoD × Battery Voltage) ÷ (Pump Watts ÷ Efficiency)

Battery capacity reduced by Depth of Discharge (DoD). Pump power adjusted for efficiency losses. Voltage matching between pump and battery is critical.
