6600m power requirements on battery

Just curious; does anyone know the approximate average RX amperage for the 6600M? The various documents I have found seem conflicting. I want to be able to switch to emergency/battery power if needed for a limited period of time. Voltage would be 10.8-13VDC. I normally use an 80Ah SLA battery. I'm trying to work up a guesstimate for radio usage time on battery. I could either hook up the battery directly, or run the battery through an inverter into a 12V power supply. Most of the moderately priced home UPS systems seem under powered so I'll probably roll my own. Thanks, de K6WGX 73.
