| We must remember a nasty little thing called the Peukart Effect.
You may think you just drew 50 AmpHrs of electricity in 20 minutes. You didn’t if it was:
Battery Size..........Rate of discharge....Hair dryer...Amps drawn/...Actual Used
AmpHrs (20 hrs)............20 hrs................Amps.........20 hr rate......... AmpHrs
400 ............................20 Amps.................150...............7X....................80
100 ..............................5 Amps.................150..............30X......... .........Dead
You were discharging the battery bank at a rate 150 Amps. Rated batteries capacity is the multiple of 20 hrs times the rate of discharge that empties the battery in that time.
If you want to use a hair dryer think about a 1000 AmpHr battery bank. |
