My formula above is wrong. My formula assumes you could run 12v device with 24v battery.

The formula is [Battery Ah] / [Device amps], assuming device volt match battery volt.

So a 24v trolling motor, 56amp draw, with 24v 100Ah battery, would run 1.79 hours.

That's what I come up with.

That is if you run it at full speed, 100% of the time. I have only ran my lithium's down one time. That was after 7 hours of spot lock when G Dam was releasing over 80/k per second on the Tennessee River after Hurricane Helene. Mine will trip the breaker if I run it full speed for more than 10 or 15 minutes.
