I couldn't give you an estime for two rigs, I've only ever run one mount from it at a time - most recently an iOptron CEM40. However at the same time I've powered my laptop, dew band, Zwo camera, etc., while also charging my mobile and in the cool of the late night, boiled a 12v kettle from it. After about a four to five hour run with all of that (obviously the kettle isn't going all the time) it had lost between 20% and 40% of it's total charge.


Depending on the rigs and the accessories, I would think that you should be able to get at least six hours out of an evening with two setups without any difficulty.


One minor warning - when the unit arrives from the factory, it's partly charged, and those 240v outlets can give you a 240v zap if you aren't careful!
