That is *entirely* dependent on the exact specifications of your system. Judging by your previous posts I'm *guessing* that you at least are running off an EPIA mini-itx board. This being the case, I can tell you that you will be looking at something along the lines of 150ma @ 12v. So count on about 15 hours (assuming you are using a *standard* sealed lead acid battery), or 30 hours if you don't care how often you need to replace the battery
