I have 14 1200 amp hour batteries to test at the 500ah load test max. Do you think it will last for all 14 of them?

Yes the tool will easily last. Do not keep the load applied to battery any more than 10sec as that is plenty of time to take the reading. Let the tester cool down between tests.

this tester works awesome on most auto batteries so i would say it would be fine it seems to last fairly well for me just give it a break between batteries 5 or ten min would be plenty

I have used mine several times and it seems to work just fine. I suggest you let it cool between tests.

With installed 800mA battery, after 100% charged, it last about 3 days. We had a test on a 2400mA battery, it last about 7 days.

The manual says it is suitable for all types of lead acid batteries from 15Ah through 300Ah. Check your battery capacity, if less than 15Ah, the manual would say no. Otherwise, no worries.

I think I did a three hour gig on batteries with no problem. Since then I just run it on the transformers to be safe. But I suspect they will go for much longer on batteries than I tried.

Yes. 6800mAh is 6.8 Ampere-hours at 12V. It should therefore be able to run at 1.5 amperes for more than four hours. I wouldn't run it much higher than that, though. 1.5 Amps is a lot of current for that little battery. I routinely run a 3800mAh unit (=3.8 Ampere-hour) at 0.9 Amp for over four hours.

Yes, all SLA batteries can handle almost any load. 10 ah means that you can draw 10 amps for 1 hr or 20 amps for 1/2 hour and even 50 amps for 20 minutes. If you only operate a 12 volt 30 watt flouresent fixture, the battery will be at full brightness for 4 hours. (12v x 10 ah /30 watts = 4 hr).

ATV batteries are not deep cycle so the battery life would not be very good to run a light for extended times. A 14Ahr ATV battery would run one 18w light for a little over nine hour, but deep discharge would kill the battery.

Amp hours are a measure of power. Theoretically, the battery should provide 125 amps for one hour at the stated 12 volts. However, at this high a current, I wouldn't count on it. More realistically, the battery should provide 10 amps at 12 volts for 12.5 hours or 20 amps for 6.25 hours...and so on and so forth. My experience is limited because I use them (two of them) along with an inverter to run a refrigerator and a few other pieces of equipment in a back up mode. They have done great when I've needed them!

I think you would need to check the amp hour rateing of the battery to know if it will last long enough under a slight draw. I think this battery was designed more for high cold cranking output which is does very well for its size and weight. Battery feels so light you think it is hollow.

that would depend on the number of batteries storing the power and how much power you use. For my 37 foot camper, I use 8 batteries and it lasts till bed time unless I use power tools. Runs lights, fridge and tv without issue.

Yes. All batteries will. A battery that didn't stick out or wasn't heavy wouldn't last longer than a half hour or so.

Have been using all five of mine on the original batteries for the last 14 months. Still going strong.

The mfg would be able to answer that. We used it for flooded lead acid, the results were of no value. 6 out of 10 times it would fail new batteries .

YES, if you use a fresh, quality batteries. If you aren't timing it, it will last even longer!

We use all of ours on 24 volt helicopter batteries and they will stay plug for 12 hrs to 30 days with no problems,work VERY well

Yes, assuming you're battery has around 100 RC (amps reserve capacity). The lights use 1.5 amps each per hour your battery should last around 5.55 hrs assuming a full charge and a good battery to full discharge. This is theoretical of course and many factors could lower that and likely will. Also make sure your fuses and wires are sized for the amps.

Well these lights are 130 watts So off of a normal duall purpose battery with 200 amps will run for 15 hours. So if you run the other ones which I don't know the wattage of you will most definitely get 3 hours.
