Battery Life Calculator – Estimate Your Battery Life Quickly and Accurately
Have you ever wondered how long your device will last on a full charge? Whether it’s your smartphone, tablet, or DIY electronics project, knowing your battery life is essential for planning usage and avoiding unexpected shutdowns. Our Battery Life Calculator makes this simple and precise.
How It Works
Our calculator estimates battery life based on four key factors:
-
Battery Capacity (mAh) – The amount of energy your battery can store, usually indicated on the battery label.
-
Device Consumption (mA) – The current your device draws during operation, which you can find in device specifications.
-
Battery Voltage (V) – Most Li-ion batteries operate at 3.7V, but you can adjust if your battery differs.
-
Battery Efficiency (%) – Accounts for energy losses during discharge, typically between 85-95%.
The formula used is:
Battery Life (hours) = (Capacity × Voltage × Efficiency) / Device Power Consumption
The calculator then converts this into hours and even estimates days based on 8 hours of daily usage.
