Run Time for Battery with Truck Not Running

[HTX1811]

So I am wanting to keep some bait fish alive next week being they maybe hard to come by in close proximity to the beach house.

My question is regarding the run time on a battery for a 12 volt aerator that draws 1.75 amps. The battery specs are as follows;

70-Amp/Hr 700CCA

How long do you think I could run the aerator directly from the battery before I would have issues starting the Ranger?

Looking at needing 6 hours with the truck not being started? This would be after I went to bed and cannot go out and start the truck and let it run for a while to keep the battery from getting low.

Thanks

Think this is the better option.

Hi HC,

The powerpoints are only live for 2 hours after you shut off the truck so you have problem after 2 hours. As far as the power draw if you hooked up to the battery, you would likely be okay, but why risk it. Do you have 120V power at the beach house?

Thank you. I was planning on going direct to the battery prior to finding a 110 to 12v converter. I’m going that route just so I don’t have to worry about a dead battery.

Maybe give these a try. No electricity required.
