1. Charging a single 12volt car battery... I use the battery for running
the laptop into the wee-hours. 2. 12volt deep cycle marine batteries will power the entire 1962 Shasta Camper on AC current for over a day. 3. The star of the show is the "Expedition Solar Pannel" ...and the red wagon with air filled tires is a must too!!! 4. The TrippLight back-up power converter provides power for the non-DC items as needed. (ie... The Rivera Lights) |
As more experiements are run I'll update this page... for now we know the 3 deepcycle batteries will run the Coleman PowerChill DC fridge for over 36 hours non stop. That comes out to a little over 12 hours per battery. Currently testing the time it takes for the Expedition to recharge the marine batteries back to full capacity. Over all I feel we are Y2K compatible..! |
