Battery Capacity & Runtime

From a battery's rated capacity, a load current, and its voltage: runtime = Capacity/Iload, discharge C-rate = Iload/Capacity, and stored energy = Capacity×V. Runtime is the theoretical ideal — real capacity fades at high discharge rates (Peukert's effect), so treat it as an upper bound.

Ah, V I_load capacity time runtime
Runtime is capacity divided by load current — the ideal time to fully discharge.
