TV runtime depends on average television wattage and the usable watt-hours available from the power station.
Use the TV label, manufacturer information or a watt meter. Screen size, brightness and picture settings can change consumption.
Multiply battery watt-hours by an efficiency allowance and divide by average TV watts. Leave reserve for real-world losses and other connected equipment.
Enter battery capacity and average device load. This planning estimate uses 85% usable efficiency.
Actual runtime varies with conversion losses, cycling loads, temperature and battery condition.

Use your estimate above to compare current portable-power options. Start with the closest capacity or solar setup for your needs:
