Volks, Those smarter than I ... OK, everyone else. I'm getting ready to do some Battery requirement calculations. Assuming a OPTIMA D750 Yellow Top Deep Cycle Battery Rated at 120 minutes of Reserve Capacity at a 25 Amp draw. Specifications. Reserve Capacity - Minutes: 124 Capacity (C/2 rate) - Amp Hours: 52 Capacity (C20 rate) - Amp Hours: 65 Am I correct in assuming that a 10 Amp Per Hour Power requirement would mean this battery would last 5 hours before needing a recharge?
