    Assuming a 24V power supply, a Core Series Smart Hub configured with four Openpath Readers and locking hardware uses about 2 Amps. To keep the system running for 3 hours with all entries engaged, you need 2A x 3 hours = 6AH, so two 12V 6AH sealed lead acid (SLA) or gel cell batteries wired in series.
