Re: Battery life?

If we guess at 80A average continuous draw, and guess at 8 AH capacity at such a high discharge rate, we get 1/10 of an hour until voltage drops to about 9.4 volts. At 40A, 2/10 of an hour.

Don't think "first Q match of the day", think "Intense Einstein Activity" for your current draw estimates.
