Watts needed
I have read where folks suggest any where from 1 to 2 watts of solar per ah of battery. My question, is this based on battery rating (ie 215 AH) or is it based on useable amp hours(105)? All reply...

for a 6V GC battery the recomended charge amprage is 10% of your total amp hour capacity at the 20h rate of your entire battery bank.
Acceptance rate for a 100 amp-hour flooded lead acid at 85% state of charge is 12.5. That translates to 12.5%, not 10%. Further lead acid are self regulating--that's why it takes nearly the same time to get from 50% to 85% as it does from 90% to 100%
Battleborn recommends 0.5 c for longest life, but 1c is safe.
