How Long Does a 10kWh Battery Last?

Runtime = usable energy / load. A 10kWh lithium battery gives about 9kWh usable once depth of discharge and inverter losses are counted.

In depth

At a 1kW load (fridge, lights, TV, router) that is roughly 9 hours. At 2kW (add a split AC) about 4.5 hours. At 3kW about 3 hours.

High heat and high discharge current shave real runtime, so plan 10-15% below the theoretical figure.

If the 10kWh is gel nameplate, usable energy is around 5kWh - roughly half the runtime.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Comparing amp-hours only and ignoring voltage, ending up with four times less energy than needed
  • Discharging lead acid below 50%, which cuts life to less than half
  • Picking a bank that does not match the inverter voltage, so charging fails or runs inefficiently
  • Thin cable or a long run between bank and inverter, causing voltage drop and lost power
  • Mixing new and old packs, or different capacities, on the same bus

Next step

Send your load list and required hours over WhatsApp, or use the on-site system calculator to size the battery bank and array.

Technical advice is free, and the recommendation is based on your real consumption, inverter voltage and installation location rather than on the largest battery in stock.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my load in kW?

Add the nameplate power of everything running at once, or use the system calculator on this site.

Can I fully discharge it?

LiFePO4 can safely reach 90% thanks to the BMS, but repeated full discharge shortens life.
