What uses more battery life?

[AvaOrchid]

Got kind of a strange question that I probably should be able to figure out on my own but I'm really bad at math.
What would use up the battery quicker.. a quick let's say two-second burst at 50 Watts or a 6 second press at 30 Watts? Tia.

2*50 = 100 watt-seconds.
6*30 = 180 watt-seconds.

So the latter uses almost twice the amount of power from a battery.

Jeeze I feel silly..thank you. I forgot what the measure of watts was apparently.

Hi Tia! Watts is energy per second, and 30 watts multiplied by 6 seconds is bigger than 50 watts multiplied by 2 seconds. So the 6 second press will use more energy and therefore use up the battery more.

Edit: Rossum bet me to it haha
