1. What is the Run Time Equation?

The run time equation calculates how long a Husqvarna leaf blaster battery will last based on its capacity (Ah), voltage (V), and the power consumption (W) of the blaster.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• \( Ah \) — Battery capacity in amp-hours
• \( V \) — Battery voltage in volts
• \( W \) — Blaster power consumption in watts

Explanation: The equation calculates the total energy capacity of the battery (in watt-hours) and divides it by the power consumption of the blaster to determine run time.

3. Importance of Run Time Calculation

Details: Knowing your battery's expected run time helps in planning yard work sessions and understanding when you might need backup batteries for larger jobs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the battery specifications (usually found on the battery label) and the blaster's power consumption (found in the manual or product specifications). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is my actual run time different from the calculation?
A: Actual run time may vary due to temperature, battery age, and blaster usage patterns (variable speed triggers, etc.).

Q2: Where can I find my battery's Ah rating?
A: The Ah rating is typically printed on the battery label, often near the voltage specification.

Q3: Does this work for all Husqvarna battery tools?
A: The equation works for any battery-powered tool, but this calculator is specifically designed for leaf blasters.

Q4: How accurate is this calculation?
A: It provides a theoretical maximum. Real-world results will typically be 10-20% less due to efficiency losses.

Q5: Can I use this for other brands?
A: Yes, the calculation works for any battery system, but the results are most accurate for Husqvarna equipment.
