Battery Cycle Budget Calculator
Calculate cycle energy, cycle-count budget years and total budgeted energy using your stated cycle definition.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool

- Calculate the result.
- Copy the report or download it as TXT.
Formula and units
Cycle energy = capacity × DoD/100 × efficiency/100. Budget years = rated cycles ÷ annual cycles when annual cycles > 0. Total energy = cycle energy × rated cycles.
Scope
Capacity and cycle counts are nonnegative; percentages are 0–100. Rated and annual cycles must use the same definition. This does not model chemistry or calendar degradation, change the rated cycles for DoD, or predict actual battery life. No parameters are recommended.
