Choosing the right battery capacity is essential to ensure sufficient backup power during outages.
Key Factors:
- Power Consumption: Determine the base station’s load (in watts).
- Backup Duration: Identify the required backup time (hours).
- Battery Voltage: Select the correct voltage based on system design.
- Efficiency & Discharge Rate: Consider battery efficiency and discharge characteristics.
Formula: Capacity (Ah)=Power (W)×Backup Hours (h)/Battery Voltage (V)
Example: If a base station consumes 500W and needs 4 hours of backup at 48V, the required capacity is: 500W×4h/48V=41.67Ah
Choosing a battery with a slightly higher capacity ensures reliability under real-world conditions.
