Re: How to calculate a battery capacity

The Amp/hr rating of the battery (I think) says that if the device draws
x amount of amps, the charge will last this many hours.
=============================
The amp hours is measured at a '10 hour rate' or a '20 hour rate', so a
120 AH battery is rated at 12A for 10hr... less hours if the current is
greater. Also read up on Peukert Number on one of the Battery sites.
