Questions answered

What to know before using the result.

How is battery autonomy calculated?

Usable battery energy is divided by average daily energy use.

Does the result include inverter losses?

Only if you reduce the usable-capacity input to account for them. The headline is an idealized estimate.

What other factors reduce real autonomy?

Temperature, battery age, surge loads, reserve settings and changes in daily consumption can all shorten it.
