100AH * 12v = 1200 Watts of power.

A 16 inch TV has a power rating of 55w, so 1200/55 is 21.8 hrs

Your TV will have a higher wattage (usually on a sticker on the back) so sub in the the value...

I would also minus off about 10% as the inverter uses power itself, and bear in mind this maths is for an ideal world, ie, fully charged, brand new battery, no other sources of drain (lights, DVD players), average volume/brightness etc...

How long would a 1500 watt space heater run on a 2000 watt dc to ac power invert?

It depends on the source of DC that is powering the inverter. Since the inverter is 2000 watts, that just means it will handle your 1500 watt application. At 120 VAC you are drawing a little over 12 Amps. If this is an inverter plugged into a car it will run until the battery runs down, whose time will be lengthened if you keep the car running. Your battery will have an Ampere per Hour rating. If for example you had a 50 AHr battery it could supply 50 Amps for an Hour so your heater would run for about 4 hours.


How long will a 1000VA inverter provides backup power with 100 Amps Battery for 3 fans 3 lights and 1 tv?

The running time depends on two things: the actual power the inverter can supply, and the actual power drain of the loads. A 1000 VA inverter may be able to supply 1000 VA, but it battery size determines *how long* it can supply power for. A 100 amp battery can probably supply 10 amps for 10 hours (100 amp-hours), but it may only supply 100 amps for perhaps 45 minutes - if it does not overheat! Generally, batteries give less effective power at higher power drain. You also need to know how efficient your inverter is - it may be 90%-plus, it may be as bad as 75% or less. So you will need to (1) find out how much power your appliances draw (let's say its 300 watts), then (2) examine the specifications for the inverter-battery combination to discover how long they can support your power drain. Be aware that 300 watts load is over 25 amps current drain at 12 volts, so you are already getting away from the 100 amp rating, to a lower value due to the high power drain on the battery.


What type of current does an uninterrupted power supply use?

Uninterrupted power supply (UPS) is a stand by battery. Charged with mains power, it is designed to give out DC current should the mains power suddenly goes off, long enough for computers to be shut down properly, so avoiding corruption of data and the computer system. I believe that in some larger commercial/military/Government organisations, an inverter DC to AC is in their larger capacity UPS systems, to continue on AC until the mains power is restored.Another AnswerA UPS is often used to supply computers, in order to protect their data in the event of a power failure. They consist, essentially, of a battery charger, a rechargeable battery, and an inverter. The main power supply maintains the charge on a battery, via a battery charger, and the battery's output is converted to an a.c. output via an inverter. Voltage values are maintained by internal transformers.


How long will a battery 12 ampere-hour rating supply 144 watt load?

An ampere-hour rating is a relatavistic indication of how long a battery can supply a specific current.It is not possible to determine the run time when you only gave watts, but watts are volts times amps, and you did not supply the volts.

Can you run an amplifier with a power inverter?

Most likely yes depending on your inverter and how long you run it. I have done it once before. I ran a sub woofer and a PA horn in my dad's work van for fun. Ran it for about a half hour. It was a 1000 watt inverter on a 700cca battery. The amplifier was bridged to 150 watts RMS. If you run more power you might need a bigger inverter. Out inverter also has circuitry that filters out noise.

How long could the fully charged set of batteries run the refrigerator in the absence of any sunlight?

Batteries and Inverter Typically, a battery is rated assuming a 20-hour cycle. For example, a 160 amp-hour battery would theoretically provide 8 amps per hour for 20 hours. Most solar batteries will provide sufficient current for both a refrigerator and other appliances.

What does 63 whr mean?

It stands for watt-hour. In relationship to batteries, it measures how many watts in an hour a battery can sustain. A 63 watt-hour battery will supply 63 watts for 1 hour, or 6.3 watts for 10 hours or 31.5 watts for 2 hours, etc. It is extremely difficult to determine, from this number, how long your equipment (say, a laptop) will run using a 63 hour battery. The thing for which this number is most useful is battery comparison. A 20 WHr battery will last twice as long as a 10 WHr battery and half as long as a 40 WHr battery and so on.


Can you use a 12v battery and the inverter to run a car alternator using a single phase motor and power up your battery from an alternator?

Not for very long. The energy lost to friction will mean that the system eventually stops working.
