Gas Generator to Watt-Hours (Wh) Conversion Chart

Gas generators store more total energy per refill, but the Rebel stores electricity directly, silently, with instant torque-free delivery and no engine runtime, fuel, or maintenance cycle.

Generator Model Gas tank capacity (US Gal) Equivalent Battery Storage (kWh)
3300i 1.0 5.6
3500i 2.6 13.4
5500 5.4 29.0
6500 7.9 34.0
8000 7.9 48.0
15500 14.2 85.0

RevoPower battery modules are ordered in amount of kWh (kiloWatt hours).  If you're already using a gas generator, the kWh figures on the right column will provide about the same amount of power/run time as your gas generator.  

This table was calculated using the following variables, with some assumptions made based on generator parameters:

  • Tank capacity = specified by the generator manufacturer
  • Gasoline energy density = 33.7 kWh/gal
  • Running wattage = the generator’s continuous rated output in watts
  • Load fraction = the fraction of rated output being used, 0.50 for 50% load
  • Runtime at that load = hours the generator runs at that load, specified by the generator manufacturer
  • Generator overall conversion efficiency
