The lifespan of valves (or tubes) in a tube amplifier typically ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 hours, depending on the type of valve, usage, and operating conditions. Power tubes, such as EL34 or 6L6, generally last between 1,000 to 2,000 hours, while preamp tubes can last significantly longer, often up to 10,000 hours. Regular maintenance and proper handling can help extend their lifespan, but they will eventually need replacement as their performance degrades over time.

How long can a 80 amp battery last when you use 0.5 amp?

To determine how long an 80 amp-hour battery can last when drawing 0.5 amps, you can use the formula: time (in hours) = battery capacity (in amp-hours) / load current (in amps). So, 80 amp-hours ÷ 0.5 amps = 160 hours. Therefore, the battery can last approximately 160 hours under that load, assuming ideal conditions and no significant losses.
