I think there is something wrong with this statement, It implies that  
for the 10 seconds to flush the ET it will uses 540 amps-!!??  1.5 Ah  
x 60 min/hour x 60 sec/min x 10 flush/sec = 540A/flush.

An amp-hours is a capacity measurement, that is 1 amp used over one  
hour.

If it is 1.5 Amps during the flush cycle (say 10 sec) then it will  
use 1.5/60/6= 0.0042 Amp-hours and take about 17,850 flushes...
