100W "suitcase is not "rated 65Ahr", more like 6.5A hr and that would be in full sun at noon during the summer solstice with the panel pointed directly at the sun with no clouds in the sky. That max only lasts at best 4hr-5hrs a day.

To get the 65Ahr you would need 10 of those panels.
I think you misunderstood what KenS999 was saying. his batteries are 65 AH each.
