1 - Projected Amp Hours for 24 hours (amp hour worksheet): 30-45, depending on how much TV I watch with the inverter running.
2 - Current # of batteries: 1
3 - Current # of Amp Hours [AH] your batteries have (or Reserve Capacity [RC]): 150 ah, although the batteries age makes it closer probably to 135 or 140.
4 - Battery Voltage (6 or 12): 12V... Trojan T-1275 sweeper battery.
5 - How long do your batteries last based on #1: 2 days.
6 - How long each day do you run your generator to get "recharged": With a 33 amp power supply unit set at 15.0v at the battery, usually 50 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes.
7 - Provide any other info like if you use solar and how you recharge, etc.:
If using my portable solar panel that I aim 3 or 4x a day at the sun, that charges at a 6.6 amp rate, 120W in June, I am charged by 11-12 noon, most days, in June. Again I use an adjustable charge controller and set the voltage for 15.0V at the battery terminal.
I always, when boondocking, use adjustable voltage chargers, and I almost always set for 15.0V, if day time temps are around no more than 75 or 80F.
