Watts=Voltage*Amps
5.3=12*Amps Amps=5.3/12=.45 which is close to 0.5 amps
So, the 10 amp-hour battery will last a comfortable 20 hours.

thanks. you dumbed it down beautifully.
i cant see needing it for more than 16 hours on the rare occasion i need to use it for two 8-hours stints before recharging. most will be 8 hours.
