Wet cell battery only rated at 59 amp hours? Even a group 23 is mnore than that
The answer is not long. That battery is likely a MARINE/deep cycle and that means you can only use about 15 amp hours.. Now a 700 watt inverter needs about 3 of those batteries to be happy.
At FULL LOAD it will draw 75-90 amps. YOur battery will last about 10 minutes.
At light load it might draw as little as 1-5 amps, and your battgery could last 10 hours.. but Trust me you need MORE battery..
Minimum would be a pair of GC-2 or one 4D
