Electronic – How much energy can this battery store

I have a 16 V lithium battery with 60 Ah.
How much energy can this battery store?

My home specifications are: 220 V mains and I have a contracted power of 6.9 kVA.

Best Answer

The battery is 60Ah at 16V

So therefore it can provide 60A at 16V for a period of 1 Hour

Alternatively it can provide 30A at 16V for a period of 2 hours

Or 15A for 4 hours - you get the drift. It's the number of amps it can provide in total when drained flat over a period of one hour. The slower you drain it the less current you use, the longer it lasts.

So, for 1 hour it's 60A.

If P=VI then P=16*60

That's 960W over the period of 1 hour.

So 0.96KWh. The length of time this will be for depends on the current you draw.

Your mains power supply has nothing to do with it.
