How Long would a 100 Ah battery last

The Amp Hour rating of a battery simply describes the battery capacity. The Ah rating shows the amount of energy(charge) that the battery can store. Common examples include 65Ah, 75Ah, 90Ah, 100Ah, or 200Ah. The Ampere hour (Ah) rating tells us the amount of current a fully charged battery would deliver for a certain period of time. In essence, a battery rated for 100Ah should be able to supply 100 Amps for 1 hour or 1 Amp for 100 hours. Similarly, a 65Ah battery should deliver 1 Amp for 65Hrs or 65Amps for 1hr. 200Ah should deliver 1 Amp for 200Hrs 100Ah battery should deliver 1 Amp for 100 hours, 100Ah battery should deliver 2 Amps for 50 hours, 100Ah battery should 3 Amps for 33 hours etc. It would be nice if this equation held true all the way up to 100 amps for 1 hour, but there are some limits on the maximum amount of current you can draw from a battery without destroying the battery. Batteries however have a rating called C-rate. This rating informs us of the maximum curren
