    Hello,

    as in the topic, I am asking for help in finding out in my calculations regarding the calculation of the time for which the UPS will support the device.

    It is a 600VA 360W UPS. So far, I have been able to locate 2 patterns:

    I want to calculate the backup time and I used the formulas where:
    QA - battery capacity [Ah]
    UA - battery voltage [V]
    P - power of the powered device [W]
    0.55 - a factor that takes into account the efficiency of the UPS, battery discharge and the nature of the receiver


    Example:
    P = 100 W - power consumed by the connected device
    UA = 12 V - voltage of the battery connected to the UPS
    QA = 7 Ah - capacity of the battery connected to the UPS


    Backup time:
    t = (coefficient * (QA * UA)) / P = time result ---- the result is: 27.72 minutes (this is the formula I deduced after looking at the electrode)

    While searching the internet, I found a pattern like this:
    t = Factor * ((402 * (P / 12) ^ (- 1,3)) / 7) * QA = time result ----- the result is: 14.05 minutes (this formula is a mystery to me - something is counting, but I don't know what and how)

    I am asking for help and for guidance, because my hands have already dropped to the ground.

    Regards,
    Mariusz

    The first formula is a correct calculation for peasant reason.
    100 W / 12 V = 8.3333 Ah per hour
    8.333333 / 60min = 0.1388889 Ah per minute
    7 Ah / 0.1388889 = 50.39996 this is 50 minutes and 24 seconds
    50.39996 x 0.55 = 27.719978 that is 27 minutes and 43 seconds
