I have a 5 gallon twin tank and although its a relativley small tank

states that the compressor has a 50% duty cycle. Am I understanding
this right to mean that if my compressor recharges for 15 sec then I
need to let it idle for a minimum of 15 seconds before it should be
kicking on again?

Thanks,

More a matter of no more than 30 minutes run time per hour. Less on a
hot day and maybe more on a cold day.

And probably less if it's in a closed closet with no ventilation.
