How much power does it suck from the battery?

Have not tested to know for sure but not enough to affect flight time. It is really bright and you will be able to see it well in daylight. It's not a headlight. It's a great light for spotting and nite flight but it's not going to brighten something enough for a video cam to record it. I use the Phantom I

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

Honestly, I have no idea. I can't imagine that it is much of a power hog, though. I guess I could measure it...

It will draw juice but it shouldn't completely drain the battery. Make sure its fully charged when you head out.

around 40-50 amps, when it runs for a long time it takes a little more because it heats up. I have been using it daily since I got it and only blew out 1 of the 40 Amp fuses just recently. This thing needs a lot of power and will kill batteries if you let it.

It is not powerful enough. That was the message on my laptop. That the battery would not charge correctly

No, that's ridiculous. I ran mine last weekend for a solid seven hours, with intermittent bursts on full power to get from one point to another. I also run my fish finder off the same battery. When I got home the battery was still 80 percent charged, and that's the most I've ever drawn it down.

Mine stays plugged in with no problems. I do not believe there is any significant power draw unless something is connected to it and is continuously drawing from the invertor. Then that depends on the rating of the vehicle battery rating or reserve capacity and the load drawn from the invertor, up to 120 watts.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I can tell you this the battery doesn't need charged often.

I've had it draw up to 2 Amps on a bench supply, and it'll burn through regular batteries very quickly so I imagine it'll pull more than just 2 amps if it's unchecked

I would guess a little longer but how much I have no idea. Its not a deep cycle battery so draining it and then recharging it over and over will basically kill it fairly fast. You really need a deep cycle battery for that kind of application

I have it powered at 3.3v. With key fobs , about an inch. With stickers, less than that. With cards, maybe an inch and half, probably less.

I didn't check the amps but I hooked it up and it got pretty hot so I assume it pulls a lot. I never used it because I thought it would kill my battery.

I don't know how much power's consumed by it when not charging, but I leave it plugged in for easy charging. My guess is probably not as much as an alarm clock though.

I can't give you a precise answer, but I have always had enough juice in the battery to do what I need. I use this computer mostly for power point presentations that last a couple of hours. I always make sure the battery is charged up before I do the presentation.

I don't know exactly, but would guess more like 50 watts as it can drain two heavy duty batteries is about 24 hours using 12 volt hook up.

Not really sure about the power. Mine ran constantly. I did not use the drain hose bc it was too short but there is one included. Next season I was going to rig something fir constant draining.
