How to calculate energy consumption for those more technically minded?
To find out how much energy you consume, you need to find out how many Watts the devices you want to keep running, consumes or uses per hour.
​
To do this, find the information label on the device (see example):
-
Most devices have a label showing how many Watts it uses per hour. The label is usually underneath, on the back, or on the side of the device. You can also find the power consumption (output) in the owner’s manual.
-
Should you not find 'Watts' on the label, look for the 'Output or O/P' - this consists of a Volt (V) value and an Amp (A) value.
-
To convert this to Watt, just multiply the V value by the A value.
-
Volts (V) x Amps (A) = Watts (W). Image example will be 9(V) x 1(A) = 9 Watts per Hour
​
Now add up the Watt value of all the electrical items you want to keep running to get a total energy demand. Take this total and type it into the table below, then type in the hours you need to keep it running and press 'calculate'.
Which PowaBox Unit do you need?
​
-
If you need (130W over 3 hours) 390W/h, a PB500 will be sufficient.
-
If you need (250W over 3 hours) 750W/h, a PB1000 will be sufficient.
-
If you need (450W over 3 hours) 1350W, a PB1500 will be sufficient.

We hope this will help you understand your power needs and help you in making a decision about which PowaBox unit is right for you!
