My friend said not to leave the flashers on for my than 1 hour or my battery will need a jump start. I think you can leave them on for 24 hrs and still start your car..Who's right?

First this would depend on what size battery you have in the car, as in cold cranking amps.
Next you would need to check to see if you have just 4 flashers total or 8 maybe even 10. The more you have the more it drains the battery when in use.
An average battery on a basic 8 flasher system car will last about 3.5 hours and then 30 minutes of very low blinking then die.
No item on a car can last being left on for 24 hours and not drain a battery. Even a simple dome light that is 1 light bulb, if left on for 24 hours, even 14 hours, you will have a dead battery.
Remember this is only a 12 volt battery, your house is 110 volt system.

that would depend on the size of the battery if its a good size one you can go for about 5 or 6 hours but if its like 500 amps then maybe 1 hour

refrigerators use a lot of means. the battery probably wouldnt very last the hour, no longer to point the nighttime. the in uncomplicated phrases decision is to go away the motor vehicle operating, which skill you take advantage of gas, and also you may want to't lock the motor vehicle with it operating so someone would thieve it. positioned only, through a cooler and ice rather.

Make sure you have the jumper cables ready when you prove your point.
