4.
Multiply Hours x Days for each load identified to determine the watt/
hours per week.
hours per week.
5.
Add the total watt/hours per week for all loads then divide by 7 to
obtain the average total watt/hours per day.
obtain the average total watt/hours per day.
6.
Divide the total average per day by the DC nominal voltage.
This figure represents the average amp-hours per day that you will
