Good thinking on the 24 v 12 charging. 700w should easily handle 2 batteries (2- right?).
Originally 440 Ah at 12V with 2 banks of 2 GC2s.
But soon 220 Ah at 24V with 4 GC2s in series.
In the past we've been quite conservative in our electrical usage. Usually didn't get below 12.3V at rest or 70% SOC with the 12V setup. Only very rarely down to 50% SOC.
But I'm a bit worried about what will happen now, with the new 2000W Inverter. Expect we'll be seeing more dips to 50% SOC and running more days at lower SOC.
But we're not full-timers, only snow birds and don't boondock all the time, or for more than 2 weeks (so far), so hopefully the batteries will survive.
