Default battery drain?

How long could you run your radio with arc amp 6.5 speakers in acc mode before the battery went dead.
If you had the battery tender hooked up to it would it charge the battery enough while playing the radio for an extended period.
Thanks

Glad you asked that - I've been wondering too. I would like to know if anyone has tested just how long the battery will last, especially with the CD playing. I have the Hog Tunes amp with standard size HT speakers.

I am sure the Battery Tender is able to keep the charge up without any problem.

I have an 07 road king original battery and run the 125.2 pushing 2 6x9's for 2+ hours with no problems starting at all. The ARC amp is one of the most effcient amps around.

Don't know how long the battery will last, But I have always be told or read that You should'nt run accessories while charging a vehicle. Something about voltage spikes. Not sure, Anyone know about this?
