Hope the above is helpful.
Sounds about like what I'm planning. With an 800 amp battery bank, I figure I'll have the 400 to 700 amp range to use. That's 300 amps. If I'm short by 50 amps per day (100 supplied & 150 used) then I'll have aprox 6 days before reaching 50%. I can deal with that, no problem.
Cam, thanks for some real world data.
