How long can the battery run the compressor?

Our team is concerned about the number of pneumatic pistons being used on the robot and whether the compressor will run down the battery trying to keep up the air pressure.

Is there a way to calculate how long a battery will last based on the number, size, and how often the pneumatic cylinders are used?

TIA
