18lb electric motor amp usage

Hi,

 

I have a query in regards to an 18 lb electric motor. Some sites on google say it uses 15 amp per hour others say 17 and some even say 7 amps per hour. Just wondering from your understading how many amp will a 18lb motor per hour.

 

I am currently using two jump starters 900 amp and 600 amps to run this motor. Just wondering how much run time i would get out of them before i need to worry and paddle back to shore.

 

Also isit okay to have two jump starters in the same box. Will it explode! Only one jump starter will be used at any give one time.  I ain't very good with electrics as you can see, so any help will be very much appreciated.

 

Cheers if you can assist.

i would need the wattage of the motor name plate to work out how much power and how long the batteries would last. alsoi dont use two jump packs at the same time the fault level of a short circuit would get pretty messy should the lead ends short
