Also keep in mind, you do not want to run your batteries down over 4 or 5 days. Sulfation will increase considerably. So, best to charge daily or every other day. And deeper discharges greatly decrease battery life. Also, continually doing less than a 100% full charge, over a week or two will cause increased sulfation. This is where solar really earns its keep. Many folks will charge with the genset in the am, and then let the solar do all the absorption and top charging to full, throughout the rest of the day and evening. But ultimately your daily useage will dictate your charging regimen.
