Wow, that is certainly longer than I would have expected.  What battery are you using?  Just one right?  I did some current tests on my plane, but haven't gotten around to doing the max run time test yet. 
 
-------------------------------------------------
the battery is an Odessey PC625.
 
I turned off all avionics , but did not turn off the Dynon. I had earlier measured the battery discharge with 3 50 watt halogen bulbs. These pulled about 12 amp measured early during the test and the voltage started dropping rapidly after 15 amp hours. I do not know how far down in voltage the engine systems will continue to operate. Will test that one of these days , on the ground :>)  not ready to join the "dead stick beer party yet"
