The end result is not predictable. To do whatever it takes to get charging voltage as high as is limited, is to do all that you can.
Go camping.
Note deficiencies. Return then deal with your style of camping.
Do this. Buy a GOOD hand held digital multi meter and take it along. As things happen, takes notes. Voltage readings. Forget everything else except generator run time.
You leave with a full battery.
You rise and shine the first boondock morning. What is the battery voltage? Write it down.
You run the generator for whatever time you think is best then shut it off. What is the battery voltage at point of generator shutdown?
Resume camping.
An hour later take another battery voltage reading. Write it down.
The next morning, take another voltage reading after breakfast.
If the battery gets too discharged, you'll be the first to know. You will be starting the generator to recharge. Note the voltage and the total run time to do your best guess to recharge.
Return home with all the notes. Post them. They are vital meaning indispensable clues. They reveal exactly any weak points in system design and configuration (and generator operation).
I refer to this as basis system status. From this point you can plan and build. Or not.
