That is Not the useful rating
They is the total capacity until dead
150 minutes at 25 amps until dead
That's 62 amp hrs, kinda on the small side for RV use, but if it serves you well, then maybe that is all you need
50 percent use then recharge is 31 amp hrs
Granted I'm basing this on the number you supplied, a different number will give different results
I placed it on a small camper and so far it seems to be doing the trick. When the camper is in use, it is usually hooked up to shore power. I figure the battery was for turning the lights on for a bit if needed and to make sure the emergency braking system works when towing. I wouldn't think you would need a much bigger battery unless you are dry docking somewhere without power, however I could be wrong.
