ok guys . technical question .
i have a 6s 3000mah battery . now using a light socket and an xt60 plug , i ran the 2 wires from the xt60 plug into the 2 light socket terminals , bc type fitting . then i put a 240volt 60w globe in the light socket , and plugged in the battery .
the result is the globe produces no light , but gets warm to touch .
i tried this also using the watt metre source plugged into battery and then load plugged into the plug ,
WHY DOES THE WATT METRE NOT SHOW ANY READING , OTHER THAN BATTERY VOLTAGE , YET THE GLOBE IS GETTING WARM TO TOUCH ?
2NDLY how long should the battery take to discharge ???
my guestimate says , its a 3 amp hour battery , therefore 3 amps will send it flat in 1 hour . ( which is now proven wrong; after 1 hr only dropped .02v per cell )
the globe is a 60watt globe .
therefore 24v x 2.5a = 60w roughly an hour should flatten the battery . RIGHT OR WRONG ? ( wrong)
OR IS THE FORMULA 24/60 = O.4 AMP = 7.5 HOURS TO FLATTEN BATTERY . ????
ANYONE ??
