Standard design consideration now days is ONE NIGHT from the battery bank, if you are getting 3 you are doing very well indeed.
Want more time between recharges.. Add more battery. Try to get DEEP CYCLE batteries (Trolling or golf car batteries) not marine/deep cycle (Which are really starting batteries)
The best bang for your buck is usually pairs of GC-2 Golf car batteries, NOTE that when compared to 12 volt DEEP CYCLE there is no advantage to this type save for cost. But they are DEEP CYCLE, they are low cost (But high maintenance) and they do work. But only in pairs (in series) Treat each pair exactly as though it were a single 12 volt battery,, Save you can remove them one at a time when it comes time to do so (Some folks can not pick up an 8-D 12 volt.. I can, but I do not care to).
