[QUOTE="Diggerdude, post: 71670, member: 308"] Going on your figures of only discharging 20% I would need a 500ah battery bank just to run the tv and fridge in my van, as I already said above that the fridge uses 64amp a day on its own in summer. This might be ok for you but I certainly don't have the room or weight allowance to carry 150kg of batteries. And running the gennie for 1.5hrs is fine if you only use 20a a day but I don't know anyone else that has such small usage. I am very aware of all of the FACTS you found on the net, I too an quite a good reader. But there's nothing like hearing peoples real life experiences. My caravan doesn't sit in the driveway plugged in, I live in it and it's used everyday. It regularly goes under 50% (as low as 11.7v) and I got 2.5yrs out of my last one, closer to 800 cycles then 300 cycles. So these internet facts don't always workout in the real world. DD [/QUOTE]
