Dry Camping with EU2000i & Trojans
I'm not completely understanding how these things all go together when dry camping. I am replacing my single 12v battery with two Trojan T-105 6v golf cart batteries. We plan to dry camp with no hoo...

Okay, being exact, although I said "approximately" . What I found is exact and good to know for those that want to be exact in everything that they do! If "exactly" drained to 50% it will take 5 hours at 10 amps to be "exactly" 100% full.
I think 3~4 is close to 5 but hey.
5 hours is a 66% increase over 3 hours.. but hey. 5 vs 3 is big in terms of generator on time, and the resultant charge.
Yes, it would take 5 hours in a perfect world. As I mentioned most chargers do not charge at a fixed amperage they apply max amperage until the set voltage is obtained and then they taper amperage to maintain voltage (this can be seen in the graph I posted above). So 5 hours on a 10AH charger will not net 50AH on a 110AH battery, it will be lower.
Batteries can only be partially charged so many times before they need a full charge (12-18 hours of charge) so they do not develop a memory and lose capacity (AH).
