The press releases concerning the new Powerwall system (that's what Tesla is calling it) don't list RV usage as an intended application -- I wonder if these units are tough enough to withstand the bouncing that an RV would entail?
At $3000 this is still out of reach -- but it is tantalizing. If I had several hundred amp/hours, I could go for much more than a week without charging. I wonder how long it takes to charge one of these beasts, and whether there is a limit on how far you can draw it down. My lead/acid batteries are not supposed to be discharged below 50% state of charge, or 12.1 volts -- that means that my 110 amp hour group 31s can't give me much more than 55 amp hours, or three days' usage.
