How to Determine Amp Hours Used by Trailer Jack
Question:
How many amp hours are used lowering Jacks?
asked by: Rob S
Expert Reply:
The Lippert Electric Trailer Jack with Footplate # LC285318 has a max power draw of 30 amps. To determine how many amp hours it uses you simply need to figure out how long you will be running the jack for. For example, if you were to run the jack for a total of 30 minutes in a day then that means you need to multiply 30 (amps) by 0.5 (30 minutes) for a total of 15 amp hours.
If you have a different electric jack the formula stays the same, you just need to know what the max amp draw is and then multiply that by how many hours you plan on running it for the day.
