∙ 12y agoAssuming a resistive load, the continuous current flowing would be 600/220 = 1.36 amps. The resistance of the load is 220/1.36 = 162 ohms.
If you have a 200 ampere hour battery that only supplies 24 volts you can't run your 600 watt device that is designed to run at 220 volts.
For sake of argument, say your load is an incandescent light bulb designed to work at 24 volts. If you attached the battery it would try and draw 600/24 = 25 amps and the resistance of the load would be about 1 ohm.
You need to match the voltage source to the load requirements.
CAVEAT - This example assumes that if a 24 volt battery was used that the 600 watt device was made to work for 24 volts. It is not the same load that would be for a 600 watt device at 220 volts. The problem is that the hypothetical question asked does not match reality.

∙ 12y agoTo calculate the time period a 200 amp per hour, 24-volt battery can power a 600-watt load at 220 volts, you need to convert the load to its equivalent current at 24 volts. Using the formula P = VI, the current drawn by the load at 24 volts would be approximately 20 amperes (W/V = 600/220 = 2.73A, 24V x 2.73A = 65.52W). Then, you can divide the battery capacity by the load current to get the approximate time period, which would be around 10 hours (200Ah / 20A = 10 hours).
Watts are the product of amps times volts. The amperage in a circuit is governed by the resistance of the load. A battery just supplies the potential as voltage, the load determines how much current is going to be drawn out of the battery. Batteries are rated in amp/hours. This means how long can a battery maintain a specific amperage over a period of time.
The power (in watts) can be calculated by multiplying the current (in amps) by the voltage (in volts). In this case, 10 amps at 12 volts would result in 120 watts of power (10A * 12V = 120W).
Electric power = Volts X Amps, so 7 vols at 1 Amp will produce 7 watts 7 volts at 5 amps will produce 35 watts 7 volts at 15 amps will produce 105 watts and so on. Technically, there is not enough information (just volts) to answer your question but if you know the Amps, you can now figure the answer yourself.
To determine the number of 12-volt batteries needed to produce 1000 watts, you need to know the capacity or the amp-hour rating of the batteries. Divide the power (1000 watts) by the voltage (12 volts) to find the current (Amps) required. Then, divide the required current by the amp-hour rating of each battery to determine the number of batteries needed.
Assuming 100% efficiency in the conversion process, the power output would be 7 hours at 12 volts, so the total watt-hours of energy stored in the battery would be 12 volts * 7 amp-hours = 84 watt-hours. With a load of 20 watts, the battery would last 84 watt-hours / 20 watts = 4.2 hours when converted to 120 volts AC.

An ampere-hour rating is a relatavistic indication of how long a battery can supply a specific current.It is not possible to determine the run time when you only gave watts, but watts are volts times amps, and you did not supply the volts.
The power (in watts) can be calculated by multiplying the current (in amps) by the voltage (in volts). In this case, 10 amps at 12 volts would result in 120 watts of power (10A * 12V = 120W).
Depends on the voltage. Volts x Amps = Watts
Watts = Amps * Volts Watts = 20 amps * 100 Volts Watts = 2000 2,000 Watts or 2k Watts
Watts = Amps * Volts Watts = 20 amps * 100 Volts Watts = 2000 2,000 Watts or 2k Watts
Electric power = Volts X Amps, so 7 vols at 1 Amp will produce 7 watts 7 volts at 5 amps will produce 35 watts 7 volts at 15 amps will produce 105 watts and so on. Technically, there is not enough information (just volts) to answer your question but if you know the Amps, you can now figure the answer yourself.
To calculate the number of watts when given volts, you also need to know the current (in amps) flowing through the circuit. The formula for power (in watts) is P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts, and I is current in amps. Without knowing the current, we cannot determine the number of watts from just volts.
To determine the number of 12-volt batteries needed to produce 1000 watts, you need to know the capacity or the amp-hour rating of the batteries. Divide the power (1000 watts) by the voltage (12 volts) to find the current (Amps) required. Then, divide the required current by the amp-hour rating of each battery to determine the number of batteries needed.
If the wattage of a load is known then the current can be calculated. Watts equals amps times volts. You would use the following formula, Amps = Watts/Volts.
To calculate the current in milliamps, use the formula: current (in milliamps) = power (in watts) / voltage (in volts). In this case, 1.5 watts / 12 volts = 0.125 amps. To convert this to milliamps, multiply by 1000: 0.125 A * 1000 = 125 mA. Therefore, 1.5 watts at 12 volts is equivalent to 125 milliamps.
The amp hours capacity of a battery remains the same whether it is connected to a 12-volt DC load or a 120-volt AC inverter. So, the battery would still have 100 amp hours regardless of the inverter voltage.
