If using the AC 120V outlet, a portion of the L-1500 battery capacity will be used to convert the native DC 12V battery power to AC 120V power.
- Page 17 • A wattmeter may be used to more precisely measure the power consumption/draw of any AC or DC device. • To know the life of a device with the L-1500 as a power source, divide the capacity of the L-1500 (600W/h or 530W/h) by the power consumption of the device (in watts, W) and you will have the time the device will last in hours (h).
