Well, I'm enjoying some R&R camping, but, after 3 days of cloud cover, the solar isn't keeping up at all. My 24v system is down to 24v.

You'd think 800w of solar on 4 batteries would do it, but no. I think I'm going to have to have a backup plan of either a 6v charger, a 24v charger, or putting 2-12v chargers in series as suggested by piano.

Drat.

Awww shucks,

Mex, will come play "Moonlight sonata" assuming no clouds at night.;)

Please send those nasty clouds EAST across the thin strip of Idaho and on to us
We sure could use more of the clouds and rain w/o the lighting
96F or higher today and not a cloud in sight

My small 550watts of solar has nicley topped off the batteries so back in the covered shed the rig goes - saw 15 plus amps going into the bank when I took a look several hours ago

Awww C'Mon.....

They Don't Call It

THE GREAT NORTHWET

For Nothing !!!!!

Take a look at Google Earth
It is NOT wet on the east side of the state
He lives in a Desert with less than 10 inches of rain per year
Seen some years where they had less than 3 inches

we could use some of those clouds and some rain , been in tne 90's all week clear sunny hot ,predicting 99* today

How about adding some wind power Wind

Always got to have a PLAN B. In this case the PLAN B is called a 2KW Honda generator sitting in your truck bed to keep your batteries re-charged up...

3 days on all that battery? Time to discover where the leaks are or just hunker down a bit.

I recommend a 24v charger if you are spending money. 15 or 20 amps max driven by a 1000w gen.

Did you ever put the two extra GC2 in the 12v circuit?
