How Fast Will 3 Amps Drain a 12V Battery? Calculate Run Time and Capacity
A 3-amp load drains a 12v battery based on its amp-hour (Ah) capacity. For example, a typical car battery with 50 Ah delivers 3 amps for about 16.7 hours (50 Ah ÷ 3 A). Higher discharge rates can lower actual capacity, causing quicker drain. Consider the battery type and its discharge rate for accuracy. Using … Read more
