Expectations for 6 volt batteries
We replaced our two 12V group 24's with two 6 volt golf cart batteries - 220 amp hours. We also have 270 watts of solar, a Trimetric monitor and a Progressive Dynamic 9100 converter with a Charge Wizard.
When we first go into the trailer the monitor says the batteries are at 13.4, which is fully charged. Within 4 or 5 hours the batteries are down to 12.5 and this is after using only the water pump, a few LED lights for a couple of hours and the fridge (on propane) - no furnace.
What can we expect using these batteries? When we had our 12V's we could go several days, even using the furnace and that was before we had the solar.
