Battery Lifespan Predictor

Our free Battery Lifespan Predictor helps solar system owners, RV enthusiasts, and off-grid homesteaders accurately forecast how long their battery bank will last. Whether you use Lead Acid, Lithium-Ion, or LiFePO4 batteries, understanding cycle life is critical to budgeting for replacements and optimizing your depth of discharge strategy. The calculator applies a Peukert-style DoD exponent to model the exponential relationship between discharge depth and cycle count — shallower discharges yield disproportionately more cycles. Temperature correction uses the Arrhenius principle, where each 10°C rise above 25°C approximately halves battery longevity. This browser-based tool requires no registration and processes all calculations locally for complete privacy. You can model real-world scenarios by adjusting cycles per day — a typical solar home cycles its battery once daily, while a weekend cabin might average 0.3 cycles per day, dramatically extending lifespan. The color-coded health indicator instantly shows whether your configuration delivers green (10+ years), amber (5–10 years), or red (under 5 years) battery life. Understanding battery lifespan is essential for off-grid solar sizing. Undersized battery banks discharged too deeply will fail prematurely, while oversized banks with shallow DoD can last decades. This free tool lets you explore trade-offs between battery bank size, DoD, and temperature before making a purchase. It covers the three most common battery chemistries used in renewable energy storage: flooded lead acid and AGM (Lead Acid), lithium nickel manganese cobalt (Lithium-Ion), and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). Results include total estimated cycles and years of service life so you can compare battery types side by side. No downloads, no plugins — just instant, accurate battery lifespan prediction in your browser.
