I have a aes winchester stove(about the same as baby) with dc motors. Does anybody have any idea how many amps they would pull per hour from the deep cycle marine battery I have hooked to it in case of a power outage? I know it will run off of the battery as I have pulled the plug and it continues to run just trying to figure how many hours the battery will last. Thanks
 
Your best bet is to measure the battery current with an ammeter.
Actual current will be dependent on blower speeds and all other motor work loads combined with the power used by the control system.
Battery run time will = the battery capacity x .6 / current
