    Can I make a comment here without getting my hands slapped?
    While most everybody here is pretty hip on what they are talking about, we
    can be pretty lax with our terms and therefore give the impression to others
    that we don't know, as my Mother says, "beans from bullets".
    Anything that operates on electricity draws "x" amps at "y" voltage, PERIOD.
    It will draw that amount of amps as long as its running. It draws "x" amps
    whether it runs for 1 minute or 4 days. If it draws 5 amps and it runs for
    an hour, it has used 5 AMP HOURS of power but it didn't run on 5 amps per
    hour. If the same thing runs for 1/2 hour it used 2.5 amp hours but it was
    still drawing 5 amps while it was on.

    Point being that to say something draws 10 amps per hour is kind of
    misleading since it also draws 10 amps per second or per week or per year
    and on and on.

    Am I nit-picking?

    Bill
