270 watts divided by 12.5 volts = 21.6 amps. Fully charged, one would think that 110 amp-hours divide by 21.6 would give you o.509 hours. But there ain't no such thing as 'fully charged' outside a laboratory - 95% is probably the best you'll get. And running a leisure down to flat is bad news - as is anything below 40% or 25% depending on which 'knowledgeable expert' is consulted.

Add in the thought that leisure batteries don't like to deliver power very fast - taking 10 hours to discharge is ' fast'. Above this rate, the volts drop rapidly, and more Amps are needed to give you 270 Watts.

Therefore the answer to your question is 'About a quarter of an hour' A longer answer says 'About a quarter of an hour for a couple of dozen times only'.

You do not need to unscrew the caps under normal charging as each cap has a vent incorporated in it

answer 1

A car battery provides a higher burst of power for a short time and is then quickly recharged once the vehicle is in motion.

Leisure batteries are built to provide a lower charge, such as that required to run electrical devices such as tv's or radio's, but for an extended period of time. These batteries can be discharged to a greater extent without permanent damage to the battery, although we advise you still keep them fully charged when possible.

Question

Is the leisure battery 110 Ah alright being re-charged from a normal engine driven alternator- or a deisel engine driven alternator in my case?

I assume the bench charge current of 11.0 amps relates to the current required from a battery charger? Will the engine alternator automatically supply the right current or does the battery have to be re-charged via a battery charger? Or will connecting this
type of battery to the engine alternator in the normal way -for the car 'starter' battery cause damage to this type of battery?

Question

How many charge cycles are these batteries good for?

answer 1

The number of cycles you can get out of a leisure battery depends on:
Initial State of charge
Depth of discharge - down to how many volts / capacity you are discharging the battery
How the battery is recharged - time after discharge, length of charging phase, charging voltage, charging rate / characteristic / curve

In general, leisure batteries are designed for circa 400 cycles @ 60% depth of discharge (from 12.75 volts down to 12.2volts). After reaching this final voltage the battery needs to be put onto recharge as soon as possible - leaving a battery in a discharged condition will increase the risk of sulphation - which will cause permanent and irreversible damaged to the plates, shortening the service life of the battery.

Assuming the laptop draws around 3 amps the battery would last around 8 hours powering both the laptop and the 60w bulb before requiring a re-charge.
