nighteyes 275 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 depends on the type of lamp, anything like a 170 lightforce or somthimg wouldnt last long only being 3.4ah you relly need at least a 7.2 ah or 20.ah if you can get one, my little light force 140 will only do about 1 hr on a 7.2 ah. like i say its all on the lamp power Quote Link to post

hollands hope 1,024 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Well its not so hard to calculate 12volts multiplied by3.4amps will give you 40.8 watts if your bulb is 50 watts it will hold for less than a hour in theory, hope this will be any good to you Edited October 30, 2008 by hollands hope Quote Link to post
