dish tv recharge now

Tailgate! How long can I expect my 12 volt car battery to power a 20″ TV and Satellite dish using an inverter?
Will running the engine every now and then to recharge the car battery help. If so, how often should I run the car and for how long?
first look at how many amps your battery is, than add up the amps on the gear, on a deep cycle battery it is one amp hour. so if you had an 800 amp battery and had 400 amps going out, 2 hours, if you had 800, 1 hour, 1600 1/2 hour. Get the idea? The watts really won’t matter since you are just converting the voltage, but the amps usage will remain the same regardless. I think. But I would say about 2 hours max, and running the car will help. but just idling won’t help much.
