The user manual rates the battery at 36Kc(10Ah)/10 HR, meaning 10 amps per hour or 120 watts? That can't be right. It's very low capacity.



There's a 30 amp main fuse, though. So that would mean 360 watts. That's more like it, right?


Noooo: 10 Amp.hours not 10 Amps per hour! So it can provide 10 A for an hour, 30 A for 20 minutes and so on.

I’m not sure how you got to 120W, Watts are a unit of power (Joules of energy per second), so for a 12V system the maximum power through the main fuse would be 30*12=360W (about half a horsepower), that will be a great deal more than you need for some LED lamps.

Does that answer the question?
