it's important to have the House Batteries "right sized" for a successful Boondock.
Please post the following:
1 - Projected Amp Hours for 24 hours (amp hour worksheet):
2 - Current # of batteries:
3 - Current # of Amp Hours [AH] your batteries have (or Reserve Capacity [RC]):
4 - Battery Voltage (6 or 12):
5 - How long do your batteries last based on #1:
6 - How long each day do you run your generator to get "recharged":
7 - Provide any other info like if you use solar and how you recharge, etc.:
I would say it is even more important to have energy needs "right sized" for your charging method.
1) 50 or less
2) 15 or less (correction - you got me confused with "current #". Current from the bank is 15A, number of batts is 3. Why the number of batts is even important?)
3) 300 AH total @12V
4) 12
5) Like how long until they drop below 50%? In location where it usually is - forever.
6) No generator run, no need.
7) Solar. Don't know what you mean by "how you recharge". It's just getting recharged by 11 am without my help. Or by 2pm next day if it was overcast.
