1 battery...1 night of Furnace
Then battery will be dead
Good luck!
Did you not notice that I have a large solar panel to charge the battery?
I have camped for 3 nights in a row in cold weather with no problems. I have also measured the current draw from the furnace, both the valve and the motor only draw about 1.5 amps at 12v, it doesn't drain the battery that quickly.
What furnace BRAND/MODEL???
Specs show you have a 20,000 BTU Furnace
That size of furnace fan would pull 4.5A all the way up to 8.5A depending on size of motor and model.
1.5A sounds low.
If that is real amp draw then 20# propane shouldn't be an issue for 4 nights either. Fuel/air ratio has to be correct for furnace to light/burn.
