In this video, I talk about powering your TV offgrid, focusing on the efficiency and duration you can expect from a 12V lithium battery. Ever wondered, how long can a 12V battery run a TV? or more specific, How long can a 12V lithium battery run a TV? You're in the right place.

I'll break down the math for a 12V 100Ah lithium (LiFePO4) battery. Answering questions like: how many hours does a 100Ah battery last powering a television?

Starting with a simple walkthrough, I'll guide you through finding your TV's power consumption, whether through the label on the back, the manual, online resources, or an energy consumption meter—making sure you're equipped to do this calculation yourself. From there, we'll explore not just the active power consumption but also the oftenoverlooked aspects like idle consumption and the efficiency of the inverter, which are key factors that impact how long your battery can keep the TV running.

I'll do all the calculations, showing you how to account for everything from the TV's consumption to the inverter's efficiency and finally to the total usable energy in your 12V lithium or lead acid battery. Focusing on practical advice, I'll even share a tip that could significantly extend your battery life and efficiency by opting for a DCtoDC converter over a traditional inverter setup, potentially offering up to 35% more viewing time.
