Robin's 20 amp/hr question?
What does "20 AMP Hour Rate" mean?
I have learned that trying to explain this one can be complicated; however let's give it a try.
If you have a battery that is listed "20 Amps" and you put a draw on it of "1 amp" per hour, the battery will last for 20 hours. What if you put a draw on it of 20 amps per hour does it last for only one hour? I have learned that it does not. When you discharge a battery at a faster rate the overall amperage that is available is less.
