Fyi, If memory serves, the Atwater-Kent timer uses .5 milliamps per contact, it is hands down the most efficient system for ignitions…
I got this info from Google…
An amp-hour (Ah) rating on a battery indicates its capacity, or how much electrical charge it can store. It essentially tells you how long a battery can deliver a certain amount of current (measured in amps). A higher amp-hour rating means the battery can provide power for a longer duration before needing to be recharged.

What it measures:
The amp-hour rating represents the amount of current a battery can deliver for a specific period of time. For example, a 10 Ah battery can deliver 1 amp for 10 hours, or 2 amps for 5 hours.
-
How it relates to battery life:
A higher amp-hour rating generally means a longer run time for a device powered by that battery. For instance, a 20 Ah battery will typically last twice as long as a 10 Ah battery, assuming the same current draw.

Not a direct measure of power:
While amp-hours indicate how long a battery can last, they don’t directly indicate how “powerful” a battery is in terms of its voltage or wattage.
-
Important considerations:
- Current draw: The actual run time of a battery will depend on the current (amps) that the device is drawing from it. A higher current draw will drain the battery faster.
-
- Battery type: Different battery chemistries and technologies (like lithium-ion, lead-acid, etc.) have different characteristics and may not be directly comparable based on Ah alone.
-
- Temperature: Battery performance can be affected by temperature, with colder temperatures generally reducing capacity.
