How to calculate the runtime of your sump pump when connected to a battery and off grid inverter.

When it's raining and your sump pump is running, the last thing you want if for the power to go out! Luckily, you're prepared for such an event and you connect your sump pump to your Lifepo4 battery and inverter. But then you start wondering.... How long is this going to last?
I hope this video helps with that!

Something that will become significant for the longer duration scenarios is the inverter idle power draw that sucks power from the battery 24/7.

Very good point. Thanks for the info and the comment.

Great channel

Thanks!.... and thanks for the comment!

Agree with over rating the Inverter to cater for switch on surges. I needed a 1700W inverter to run a small freezer reliably. This time of year, not enough sunlight to keep it powered continuously.

Thanks for sharing and for the comment.

I have the same inverter but is branded as Giandel. I just checked and it uses about 6 1/2 watts turned on with nothing plugged into it. That should be added to the battery drain in the calculation.

Thanks for the info and the comment. I'll see what I can do.
