Powering an LED strip from a car battery?

[QUOTE="lesaid, post: 6010314, member: 608363"] You might wish to plan for somewhat more capacity than you expect to use on a single discharge. Lead-acid batteries have a longer life if they aren't routinely fully discharged on each cycle. A battery designed for 'deep cycle' operation will cope better but I have found it helpful to plan where possible not to discharge past maybe 50%. That is a very informal guess though - don't take that number as a precise guideline! I run a couple of 12V white strips for lighting in my home workshop from a (mostly) solar-charged lead-acid battery and since I stopped regularly running the battery flat, I haven't had to replace it, for some years now.
