Estimate Current Draw from a Battery

Find the current a load pulls so you can estimate battery runtime.

Nid oes angen mewngofnodi

Voltage (V)

Current (I)

Resistance (R)

Power (P)

Enter any two values and the other two are solved automatically

💡 Ohm's law: V = I × R. Power adds P = V × I. Knowing any two lets you derive the rest — handy for sizing resistors, checking LED current, or working out heat dissipation.

Battery tips

🔋

Enter battery voltage and the load resistance (or power) to get current draw in amps.

💡

Runtime ≈ battery capacity (Ah) ÷ current draw (A) — lower current means longer life.

🎯

Real batteries sag under load and aren't 100% efficient, so treat the runtime as an optimistic estimate.
