It's going to last for alot longer than anyone could possibly need it. Unless you're stuck in the jungle somewhere and its below zero outside while a search team is looking for you in the dark. You can measure the wattage of the bulbs and the output of the battery to make a calculation. Take parasitic loss into account as well.

I have to leave them on while I park because the parking lot is really far away and I can just park in a temporary lot, but the rule is you ned to have your flashers on or you get a ticket. I leave them on for 5-6 hours at a time. I was just wondering, thanks for the reply's though.


also, stock bulbs and im guessing close if not full battery.

I think the point of temporary is maybe 1 hour tops, but 5-6 hours with the flashers on is pushing it. One day, you might not be so lucky and have your car towed and/or ticketed.

I agree with what someone else said. Park far away, and get some exercise too. Also, what are you going to do when the battery dies? IMO it's not worth the hassle.

Did everyone forget the 30 minute timer on the lights etc?

Now the real question is, are hazards excluded from this?
