How Much Does It Cost to Run a Electronic Stethoscope?
Formula: `Watts x duty x hours / 1000 x $/kWh = cost`
At $0.15/kWh:
| Usage | kWh per Day | Cost per Day @ $0.15 | Cost per Month @ $0.15 | Cost per Month @ $0.30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 hrs/day | 0.004 kWh | $0.001 | $0.02 | $0.04 |
| 4 hrs/day | 0.008 kWh | $0.001 | $0.04 | $0.07 |
| 8 hrs/day | 0.016 kWh | $0.002 | $0.07 | $0.14 |
At California $0.45/kWh, 8 hours a day costs $0.22 per month.
