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.
