Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 i may have my maths wrong..... but a 12volt 100watt bulb will pull 8.3 amps???? wont so will a 10ah battery give out just over 1 hour constant light? I'd say that sounds right, but using that eqaution my 17 Amp battery should give less than 2 hours, but in reality it's on for 2 minutes then off for 10, quick flash here and there, not on constantly. Converting Watts to Amps The conversion of Watts to Amps is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts For example 12 watts/12 volts = 1 amp Quote Link to post
