Quote from topshelf207 :
Does anyone know about power usage of audio amps?

If a amp does 200 watts RMS. Does that mean it draws roughly 200watts at 100% volume? And is that linear, as in if its only set at 50% volume, would it draw 100 watts?

I am trying to plan a battery size to run a radio off grid at a campsite. I was originally going to go a much more expensive route, but I think this may work, as I already have 4 Ridgid batteries, 2 of them are 4ah.

Yes, that is generally what those specs mean, but you've neglected loss to inefficiency and heat. You also need to factor in whether your amp is a class D (more efficient) or class A/B (less). Assuming we're just ballparking, 250-400W is a reasonable assumption range.

No, it is not linear, but that is as reasonable assumption as any power curve you might draw, so go with it.

In any case, it is likely to be using this little thing pretty hard even at low volume

Quote from Thicknasty :
How long could 2 amp battery run the Wi-Fi router for?
Well lets say your wifi router is 10 watts.

the battery is 18v/2 amp our. Dats 36 watt hours. So it can run 36 watts for 1 hour, or 10 watts for about 3 hours once you include efficiency.
But if you have ridgid packs, 2 amp is the small pack, you can get way bigger packs.

In other news, its $89....

He means you cant plug in a cable to charge your ridgid batteries using the inverter. So if a battery dies you also need a charger on hand
Thank you, it totally makes sense now. I was getting a thumbs down for asking the question and trying to learn...

I saw these at my local store for under $50 on the clearance rack. I already have one so I didn't buy. I have it in case we lose power so I can still run my WiFi router.

I'm not a snob about lithium batteries, and line-interactiveness is great ... but I have three, and the "I want a new $20 SLA" beeping at 2AM gets old after so many years. And then it turns out to be the circuit board, and you try and score some more refurbs off Ebay, because prices are stupid ...

I purchased this at $14 higher in price and it price dropped two days later. I called Home Depot customer service and asked for a price adjustment. I was told since it is a special buy they could not do a price adjustment. Returned to one they just shipped to Home Depot store and ordered a new one at the discounted price after I told them I would do that. Just thinking it cost more to ship it twice than to do a price adjustment.
