Odd subject for an Android forum eh? But hey, it's the Lounge to talk about anything right?
Anyhow, with daylight decreasing now, I am getting home when it gets dark.
That leaves only the weekend (Saturday afternoons and Sundays) to do mowing. If it doesn't rain
Now, I did some thinking and some brief researching and want to install an LED light on my push mower (21 inch, manual start) with a small battery to power it.
From start to finish, mowing my entire lawn, takes me about 2-1/2 hours, so I'd like the battery to provide the power needed for the time needed. After which I will recharge it until the next time.
That being said, I picked out the LED light to mount on the front of the mower:
72 watt

and to power it, what battery do you recommend?
I need something small that I can mount on the mower and easily remove for recharge.
I was thinking about this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003S1RQ2...lid=3AH6AANV55RZQ&coliid=I37U2QKIRK89U2&psc=1
7 Ah/20 HR <<<------- what exactly does that mean? It will provide 1 amp of power for 7 hours or for 20 hours?
Being the light is 72 watts, how long would that battery be able to power it? Do I need a larger Amp Hour rated battery?
How many amps will that light draw per hour?
Based on this, the light will draw 6 amps. o.k....6 amps per hour????

My mind is fried (pun intended) trying to figure this out.
Many thanks for any input
