    100 Watt at 12 Volt means you are drawing about 8 Amps so theoritically it's 22/8 so 2.75 hours of continuous usage. You will lose some capacity, albeit small power to the resistance of the cable, number of charging cycles etc. so realistically you can expect about 2 hours plus.

    Never had the luxury of a lithium battery.

    Actually, I've just noticed, my maths were for a 22AH battery. A 14 AH would five you 1.75 hours continuous.
