- V X 6A = 720 Watts
- HP = 746 Watts - DOH! - something wrong here.... but onward - you say you need it to run 4 hours - 4 X 720 Watts - 2880 Watts.
"I would like to run this motor from a battery bank for 4 hrs a day. If any one can explain in LAYMAN terms Please do."
Well, as no voltage for the battery bank was given.... and we don't know if this is going to be a continual operation, and we don't know if you want to kill your batteries quickly or slowly....
2880/12V = 240 Amp Hours at 12V - 2 golf cart batteries (T106 Trojan) will die about 3 hours into the project. And if done every day won't last long. A bank of 20 would last wuite a while as you would be ony drawing down to 10-15% each time.
To actually get 2.5HP for 4 Hours is another problem.... and any problem takes a bit more information than you have shared.
