How long will a coffee maker run on a 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 battery?

A coffee maker drawing about 900 W will run roughly 1.0 hours on a 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 battery (using ~80% usable capacity and typical inverter loss). Lead-acid of the same rating gives less, because only about 50% is usable.

How many watts does a coffee maker use?

A typical coffee maker draws around 900 W, though actual draw varies by model and, for motor-driven appliances, cycles on and off.

How long will a coffee maker run on a battery?

A coffee maker draws about 900 W. How long it runs depends on your battery's capacity, voltage and chemistry. Adjust the values below for your exact setup — the estimate updates live.

Chemistry

What changes the run-time

Three things move the number: your battery's usable capacity (chemistry sets how much you can safely draw — about 80% for LiFePO4, 50% for lead-acid), the coffee maker's actual power draw (rated watts can differ from running watts, and motors cycle on and off), and inverter losses if you run it on AC. This estimate accounts for usable depth of discharge and typical inverter loss.
