I am looking for guesses as to how long an O2 would run, connected to a reasonable large, fully-charged car battery, while operating CW for Field Day...? -- Larry N8KU w w w . l o n g w i r e . c o m

Expect that a 12-volt battery will not run any TT radio very long without some charge. My only gripe with their products is that the radios go nuts at about 12.0 Volts. Last year used my brand new Or

I've always figure the discharge of a lead-acid car battery at 50% of its rating. Example: 150 AH battery at 50% is 75AH. Now to draw 10 amps average, we must consider transmit at some 22 amps and re

Hello Bob and Group I have used TEnTec rigs and battery power for about ten years, so the following observations might be relevant. The rigs were the Scout at 50 watts, and the Argonaut V at 20 watts

For good battery life as a regulator the power supply needs to have more precise regulation than running alone, though it can have a significantly lower current capability than running the radio alon

Well Larry I can't answer your question directly but I can give a little info that might help. In about 1982 I used my Ten-Tec 580 Delta on 20m SSB for field day. I used a new 12V 72AH battery and go

You would do a whole lot better if would go with gel marine deep cycle batteries. We have used one all day fishing running the trolling none stop and had a lot more left in the battery didn't take bu

The original question was concerning the use of a car battery, being a device designed to produce lots of amps for a short period of time. The cranking cycle to be exact and not being discharged to a

Good point, Ron. I like the AGM type of lead-acid deep cycle batteries, like the Optima yellow tops. Also remember to keep voltage drop as low as possible in the cable and connectors. I tightened up
