The basic concept is that a 100Ah battery could theoretically deliver 10A for 10 hours (10A x 10h = 100Ah).  In practice deep cycle batteries are not drained to 0%, and the rate of discharge can affect the apparent capacity.

-----+==== Telco backup batteries ==== 
 + 
 +Telcos and other companies that need battery backup rotate their AGM batteries out regularly;  these find their way onto the used market on pallets for relatively low prices.   
 + 
 +These backup batteries are not meant to cycle, vandweller style.  They are designed to live on Float forever then suddently dump their power when grid power goes down.   
 + 
 +Can you make them work for you?  Maybe, but people who can squeeze some use out of them already know what they are doing.
