Hi Bill, The battery is only good for 2 watt hours. So six of them does 12 watt hours. If you pull 10 amps at 12 volts for 1 hour, that is 120 watt hours, so the battery will last for 1/10 of an hour. That's 6 minutes of talk time.
A couple of things go wrong though - the voltage will drop to 3 x 3.25 volts = 9.75 at 5 A per cell, which is too low I think, but 4 in series will make 16.3 volts open circuit, which is too high I think. 73, AB9GV >This has me examining how to Pelicanize my portable setup. >Maybe I will go with the k2/100 kat100.
