ATM Amp Hours? Power requirtements for dew heaters, etc.




I am trying to figure out if the 12V converter (110VAC to 12VDC) I have will 
be able to supply my Newt with the power it needs for the cooling fan, dew 
heaters, etc. so I am adding up all the ampere requirements.  The Kendrick 
Dew systems are rated in Amp Hours though.  Do you know how to convert that 
to amperes or milliamps?  I know there must be a formula.  Jim Kendrick told 
me that he couldn't even give me the resistance of his units (so I could 
compute power needs) because "the information is proprietary."  Funny but 
true.
