Chuck, that number of full-dump flashes just doesn't seem right to me. I
know those inverters are pigs when it comes to "overhead" current draw, so
maybe you might be running into a time-based discharge pattern when using
the AB 800s.
Of course, this is referring to "normal" usage, not your current problem
with a battery on life support.
I do plan on seeing how much oomph my deep cycle marine battery gives when
powering a pair of monolights. I know it will keep a laptop computer alive
for 20+ hours. Hmm... Actually, now that I think of it, we got at least 24
computer hours (sometimes with two computers) and six hours of 18w compact
florescent runtime and the battery voltage was still about 10V
