My car is a '98 Lexus LS400 4-litre V8.. If I was to run an electric water pump, electric power steering pump, electric fan... those things coupled with fuel injection pump, ignition, stereo, ECU's for everything, other power consuming do-dads which the car is full of... how many amps per hour am i up for ?
... My guess is about 85 amps. .. ... .... .....

*** and I reckon 14 volt batteries, so when they started running low, the volts probably, hopefully, won't drop below 12 volts...

... I wonder how many batteries I'd need ?

.... and a decent charger to charge them each night.... possibly even a 3 phase charger...
