T Texas Guest Dec 1, 2008 #2 (300 watts) / (12 volts) = 25 amperes So if you had a 300 watt stereo, at 12 volts that consumes 25 amps. Batteries are rated in Amp Hours, so you need enough battery capacity to ensure you can run your radio as long as you need. A 100 Amp-Hour battery would run a 300 watt stereo for 4 hours.
