>Now, I have a battery here that claims 58AH. My google research tells me this >means 14.5A for 4hrs, at which time the battery voltage will be 10.5V. But >that is apparently 10.5V *loaded*. I'm not 100% certain about that last point. >So what happens if I only consume 2A -- does it also mean that I can get ~2A >(being conservative) for 29 hrs and the ending voltage will still be 10.5V? It will last a bit more than 29 hours. The less aggressive you run the battery, the better efficiency it has. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
