so i have a 12v 7Ah sla battery. i also have a 12v light. i dont know the wattage of the light, but lets say its 25. how long would the battery be able to run the light on a single charge?

I have one bike with a 55 watt headlight and I too run a 12v 7.5ah battery. I've gotten a good solid 90 minutes of usable light. Along with the big headlight I also have a brake and tail light running from the same battery I typically never ride that long at night, usually less than a half hour so I'm satisfied with the battery life.
Of course, a smaller wattage lamp will lengthen the time so I'd say you're good to go.

im going to hook it up and see how long it runs, as soon as i can get my hands on a charger. im a little strapped for cash at the moment. i need a new engine and will have only enough money for that right now.
