A car battery has a capacity of 50Ah on an average whereas an Inverter battery is rated as 120 Ah.
How long can a car battery run a 12V fan?
Your 30 watt fan will draw about 2.5 amps at 12 volts (2.5 times 12 is 30). Assuming 90% efficiency from the inverter means that the inverter will draw 2.5/. 9, or 2.78 amps. A 50 Ahr battery will last 50/2.78 or 18 hours.
Can you run a drill off a car battery?
