I am thinking spend number 1 will be on a modern DC-DC charger for my truck camper rig.
Ya I am that guy that would rather listen to the quiet rumbling idle of a 6.2 gas V8 doing a 'mergency charge of batteries vs the lawn mower rpm drone of my Honda "quiet generator"...
Ray at Love Your RV channel just did a couple vids on DC-DC charging from the vehicle alternator, and how running solar, plus DC-DC charger, plus generator AC-converter charging at the same time works. Yes they have Li batteries.
But yes, 1 x 100ah battery for 1 night seems to be the rule in the Dark Season.
I am kind of leaning to Lithium arn batteries, install inside the warm envelope, under a seat where it would be simple to pick them up and move them to heated storage if ever such an emergency were to arise.
Now on the other hand I can own and wreck quite a few good quality FLA batteries for the spend Li and SiO2's need.
But Li lend themselves very well to fast mechanical charging methods....
