70-80 amp-hours

well, I have to throw in our observstions. Doing rudimentary math, it seems as though we have been hovering around 70-80 per day ourselves. When we use the boat, we use quite a bit of power. Typically at the end of the day the solarboost registers about 12.8 volts for battery voltage and the "float" indication is intermittently on from night to night. But by morning, we are at about 12.2 or so. We tend to sleep with the fridge, anchor light, strereo, and all of our electronics operating. Usually by about 8:00 on a clear morning we can see about 5.5 amps on the solarboost display, which then jumps up to over 7 by about 9:00 Still not sure I understand all of that HS, but so far so good on this end as far as power goes. We are certainly not lacking for it at this point.

Thanks again. It has been fun and informative.

So, where do we go from here?
