Thanks for the input
The person is intending to boondock 29 days out of 30, and is unsure how much they are going to consume. I've informed him of the 50 to 80 or 50 to 90 philosophy, and the importance of the occasional true 100% recharge, though I am not sure he knows the converter is not going to be doing EQ cycles and that the 30th day requires grid power or running the genny long enough to max out the SG. if he hopes to achieve a good battery lifespan. I also pointed out that the cost of gas to take batteries back to 100% by generator will cost more than replacing the batteries more often but he says he will find some grid power once a month to plug in and do what he has to do to get the SG up as high as it will go
For the shortest generator runtimes to reach 80%+, I've recommended the powermax 100 amp as its 1440 watts figure is still below 1600 watt maximum of the honda 2000.
