actuator_weekly If your humanoid uses a 2kWh battery and pulls 400W average, you get 5hr runtime—except you don't. Real-world losses (inverter heat, joint friction, idle compute draw) cut that to ~3.5hr. Every 100W of phantom load costs you 45min of uptime. Most demos hide this with tethered power or short clips. Track your system's true idle draw before you spec the pack.
