Thank a lot for sharing! That was interesting. So the desire to hover around 50% requires 2X larger batteries as would otherwise be necessary?

- mikestew 8y agoYup. Though I've heard (as it concerns deep-cycle batteries) not to let them drop below 50% charge rather than keep them in a certain range. So, for example, when I purchased a new house battery for our RV, I got a 200ah battery knowing I can only make use of 100ah before recharging. Or put another way, figure out how much you'll use between charges (or in the case of solar, how much to tide you over until the sun comes up), and double it.
