Calculation method and formula

Energy to charge [Wh] × Share to charge [%] ÷ 100 ÷ (Charging power [W] × Charging efficiency [%] ÷ 100)

Understand the inputs

Energy to charge
Unit: Wh. Minimum 0.01. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Share to charge
Unit: %. Minimum 0.01. Maximum 100. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Charging power
Unit: W. Minimum 0.01. Use a measured value or your own assumption.
Charging efficiency
Unit: %. Minimum 1. Maximum 100. Use a measured value or your own assumption.

Assumptions and limitations

mAh measures charge, Wh measures energy. Voltage is therefore needed for energy comparisons. Efficiency, temperature, aging and charging curves can differ from the constant model.

The formula uses the specified units. Displayed numbers are rounded; whole packs, item counts and full time periods may also be rounded within the calculation.

Worked example

Illustrative values. Replace them with your own inputs for your calculation.

Energy to charge
