If you have a deep cycle battery it will depend on what speed you run it on and what the series is on the battery. 4 hours is an average at mid speed with the motor on all the time. If you are not running it constantly it will last longer, if it is the largest size battery, it will last longer. I have the largest size 12 battery available and can run it at on 4 of a 5 speed electric motor for 6 hours before it starts slowing down. Do not count on the trailer wiring to charge your battery, get a decent 10/2 amp battery charger and charge it with the two amp trickle charge after every use, if you want it to last for many years.
