    Electric heater and battery power life

    Hello all, If I was to use a 12volt heater fan on a 150 amp hour (leisure) battery how long would I get.. The fan uses 25 amps on full blast, but obviously that's over what is required as its heating a 110. I would expect well under half that is what is required.... Many thanks Steve
