1. What is the Ebike Battery Life Calculator?

This calculator estimates how long an e-bike battery can power a laptop based on the battery's capacity and the laptop's power consumption. It helps cyclists and digital nomads plan their work sessions while on the go.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple energy equation:

Where:

• \( Capacity \) — Battery capacity in watt-hours (Wh)
• \( Power \) — Laptop power consumption in watts (W)

Explanation: The equation divides the total energy stored in the battery by the rate at which the laptop consumes energy to determine runtime.

3. Importance of Battery Life Calculation

Details: Knowing your e-bike battery's laptop runtime helps plan work sessions during travel or outdoor activities, ensuring you don't run out of power unexpectedly.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter battery capacity in watt-hours (often printed on the battery) and your laptop's power consumption in watts (check power adapter or manufacturer specs). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I find my e-bike battery capacity?
A: Usually printed on the battery itself, in watt-hours (Wh) or amp-hours (Ah). If in Ah, multiply by voltage to get Wh.

Q2: How do I know my laptop's power consumption?
A: Check the power adapter's output rating (in watts) or use a power meter. Typical laptops consume 30-90W under load.

Q3: Is this calculation accurate for all situations?
A: It provides an estimate. Actual runtime may vary based on battery age, laptop usage intensity, and conversion efficiency.

Q4: Can I use this for other devices?
A: Yes, the same calculation works for any DC-powered device if you know its wattage.

Q5: What if my battery shows voltage and Ah instead of Wh?
A: Multiply voltage (V) by amp-hours (Ah) to get watt-hours (Wh). For example, 36V × 10Ah = 360Wh.
