[QUOTE="condor22, post: 589686, member: 1932"] Do you know what the total wattage or amps draw is from the lights? Without that info, "how long is a piece of string" :) i.e. from my experience each meter of light can draw from 0.5 amps to over 1.0 amps depending on how many LED segments there are. You have 2.5 meters total which could be anywhere from 2.5 to 6 amps, if you use all on at a time. Also give an indication of how many of these lights would be used and for how long each night. i.e. all lights for 5 hours could be from 15-30 AH. My thought is a minimum of an 80 AH AGM and more like an 80 W panel. But as I mentioned, I'm flying blind as I don't know the answers to the Qs I pose, only guessing from experience. [/QUOTE]
