6V deep cycle batteries
Have had som very overcast weather the last 4 days, batteries down to 82% in morning back to 95% afternoon, how long can this be don before a 100% recharge becomes essential. Frank

Frank, Frank, I believe you may have missed a day in solar school. Solar doesn’t always completely fill your batteries. Clouds, rain etc. A back up small inverter generator is essential. And a genny isn’t always ready...no gasoline, fouled spark plug and the genny doesn’t work! Next, RV batteries aren’t a legacy to pass to your great-grandchildren...nor Biblical. Use them respectfully and buy new ones.
A properly set up system will rarely if ever require a generator.
Going into year 7 ( heading out for 2 months next week), of almost 100% dry/ boondock camping with running genny a few times the first year out. The few times we have electric hookups are not because of lack of power in our 4 6V GC-2 batteries.
