Small Solar - Inexpensive
I have a small (20 ft) TT and plan on doing some boondocking with it in Colorado this summer. The TT came with a small deep cycle battery for lights and pump. I'd like to be able to recharge it ...

Hi Tom N,
Are those observed numbers from your alternator? Some how I doubt it.
Actually, I have a 145 amp alternator.
145 amps x 13.8 v = 2001 AMPS.

I strongly disagree, the charging circuit on alternators will limit amperage output. Otherwise you'd end up frying the battery in your vehicle. Also not all that amperage is used strictly for charging either, it will power other circuits in the vehicle.
