Calculates battery runtime and energy capacity given cell capacity in mAh, nominal voltage, and average current draw. Accounts for real-world discharge efficiency (Peukert-adjacent derating) to produce effective capacity, total energy in Wh, and runtime in hours and days. Useful for IoT sensor node planning, portable device design, UPS hold-up estimation, and solar battery bank cycling analysis. Outputs feed into solar_sizing (battery_kwh) and ups_runtime (battery_wh) for system-level calculations.
