The flow will slow down , but still be more than adequate for a handful of macs . Two batteries should easily carry you through the day . Even a 10 and 7 combined . Two 7's might do it . It might be time for you to invest . Check frys , they might have something reasonable . I purchased some 7 Amp models way back . I would try to stick with tens though.

Thanks for input. Yes I have a multimeter and my battery when full charged holds over 6 volts. I will probably be getting another one soon for backup. Is there a place to buy the plug for the wiring harness? I'm thinking I may build some sort of mount for a second battery on my hobie tank and run a switch, when one battery dies I can flip on the new one.
