I well concur Sir… We camp 90% of the time off-grid…I use the Honda 2200 strictly for extended air cond. run times…LFP charges via solar with a relative (to FLA’s) rapid recovery, though with no real need to routinely top-off to 100% SOC…Daily operating range is typically somewhere north of 35% to 90% SOC…

With the heat wave happening I've been running the A/C almost everyday for 3-4 hours off of batteries/ solar then switch over to the generator if needed for any longer A/C time. By the time the sun is down my SOC will be 60-65% and morning SOC will be 35% +/-, even with the morning breakfast loads and other daily loads by 1-2 pm it's back to a full pack off of solar to do it over again. LFP/ solar is the cats meow. ;)
