Here's a good LINK to determine the estimated time you'll get from your backup system. You enter the amp-hours of the batteries, planned depth of discharge, operating temperature and the wattage you'll be drawing and it tells you how many hours you'll have power. If I run the return pumps I'll get 4.9 hours. If instead I run 2 Tunze in my big tank at the fluctuating 30-100% and the return pump in the other tank I'll have 7.5 hours.
