Spanish term
autonomía
Spanish to English

Hello. This refers to the time a pellet or multi-fuel stove or boiler can go without refuelling. It's the same sense as "range", but to me that refers to distance, not time (such as the distance an aircraft can travel on one fuel tank), and a stove is stationary.
e.g.
Tolva de gran capacidad:
200l que aumenta la autonomía
10-43 horas de autonomía continuada con una carga
There are lots of examples of "autonomy" online but they are all on Spanish and Italian websites.
Thanks for your help

burning time
Nothing to do with batteries or charging as far as I can see. It's how long the stove burns for until you have to refill it with fuel.

Yup, the shorter the better.

: Yes, and because of what comes next, perhaps turn it round and say "each fuel refill (load?) allows for 10-43hrs burning time"

: "Burn(ing) time" is the best option so far IMO...

10-43 hours use without recharging/loading
or a similar paraphrase
Note from asker:
Thanks, Peter. I considered this myself, but the idea is that no human intervention is required, and "use" is quite "hands-on". But perhaps I'm nit-picking! |

battery life
I come across with this article of wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_life
But autonomy is also suitable.

capacity for independent operation
and for the second one something like:
...10 - 43 hours of indepedent and unbroken/continuous operation...
An other idea to mull over...
(You'd have to change the opening line to something like "Large volume hopper/loader" to avoid using capacity twice and with two different meanings!)
