The battery that came with my travel trailer THE battery?

I've learned quite a bit about battery maintenance recently...at the expense of my Exide 24MDP. It's time to replace it. In fact, my plan is to use 2 batteries in parallel to help in our dry camping...

Hi,

It may give you about 10 amp-hours per day. Parasitic loads are generally in the 36 amp-hours per day range.

It may be, that in bright sunshine with perfect solar conditions the unit will power the parasitic loads for perhaps 3 hours a day. That may provide a "rest" period for the battery bank.
