I wish you people would get your terminology right.
Nowhere do I see anybody talking about Ah (amphours/Battery capacity)
A battery does not produce Amps, what you mean the battery
produces 12V(DC) at 4.5Ah for 1 hour (amp hours). Thats 12V for 4.5
hours at 1Amp load. If the monitor needs 1.5A, the you take the 4.5 Ah
from the battery and divide this by 1.5A load from the monitor and it
will tell you how long the monitor will run.

No, this is a common mistake. My post explains why.
