App id: ELEC-18. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

Vbank = V × Ns,  Ahbank = Ah × Np,  Wh = Vbank × Ah

Assumptions

  • Series strings share current. Parallel strings share current.

Provenance

  • Identical matched batteries. Does not evaluate balancing, BMS, or health.
