    Ok guys I've posted about this before a few months ago. But I have the right inverter but I was wondering, how long can I run my Xbox and tv before my truck batteries die. I have q t660 Kenilworth 2012 ) and I'm asking this because I do not have an apu and the truck doesn't idle unless it's above 75 and the weather is getting cooler. Now thr Xbox is between 175 to 200 and ny tv is about 25. And after a long day u like to take a load off and play a couple games but due to how cool it's been I haven't done it in awhile cause I'm afraid it's gonna kill the battery if the truck is off

    Well considering your break is only 10hrs you most likely won't play more than an hour, unless you want to be the guy that only gets 6 hours or less of sleep every day and swerves all over the road. I got a PS3 and the days I actually do decide to play a game, I only do so for 45 min or less. Your battery should be fine. You could just start the truck every hour or so and get a quick charge if your worried about it.

    A few of us older GUYS function quite well on 6 hours sleep a night,not everyone needs 8 or 9 hours.

    I think the real determining factor in how long the batteries will last is dependent on how many batteries and what amperage and reserve capacity that they have and the wattage and duration of your use.

    But I could be completely wrong in my assumption too.
