What you calculated is "Amp-hours" abbreviated Ah.
.83 Amps over 24 hours is about 20Ah.
Theoretically, a 100Ah battery will run the lights for 5 days. However, you really don't want to draw the battery down below 50% on a regular basis, unless you like buying new batteries all the time.
Thanks.... Just wanted to make sure it sunk in :roll:
When I set em up I'll leave a long enough (and thick enough) wire/clips to hook up to whatever vehicle I'm on or a battery that is there for a fence charger... If they are used 5 hours a week, that'll be a lot...
