I think Sleepy-eyes may be correct. Your link states that that it is a 17 AH battery and not 22 AH. It does not state if it is a "deep cycle" battery w/ regard to Sleepy-eyes comment.

You best try it out while you have power available rather than when the power goes off to see what exactly you can get out of it.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

The link is for a 17AH, not the exact one I have, I could not find the link for the one I have. Mine is rated at 22AH and is a deep cycle battery. Still at 8 hours usage a night 2 or 3 nights should not be a problem at all. Especually with an auto which will run at the lower pressure most of the night. For a more acurate estimate you can always setup a meter and run the numbers for your specific case. These are my estimates for my setup. If I need more capacity after this I'll just pull one of my optima batteries out of my jeep, they are both deep cycle.
