Question SD Bat. & Strobes

OK, so since I have a work/personal truck I bought a used 28" strobe light bar for the top of my truck. Since I do landscaping/lawn mowing I need to just the bar with the diesel turned off. My friend, who is also a Wisconsin State Trooper said that I'll get maybe 20 minutes run-time on the strobe bar before both of my batteries are dead. Will they only last 20 minutes?? I'd hate to have her idle for an hour, and a LED bar, even a really small one is something like 750.00. I think what I bought was a Whelen 9000 Amber or something to that effect.

Thanks,
Dan

Ahhhhh..I'm pretty sure you'll get more than 20 minutes. A move to LED's would be a better choice, but I wouldn't worry about it.
