[QUOTE="condor22, post: 589700, member: 1932"] At full power 30 off 5050 LEDs @ 60mA = 1.8 amps each bar. If dimmed at 50% and assuming they use half the amps, then each bar will use roughly 3.6 AH for 4 hours - 18 AH for all 5. Over 2 days = 36 AH. So my thoughts remain the same an 80 AH AGM will do you for 2 days without solar. Then you charge it at home when you get back. :) It's always better to have a more battery than just enough. I'd agree with Pete, buy a power meter and find out what they use in your usage scenario. However, the 10 W solar panel you suggest will put in bugger all, especially in the middle of the year. Those small panels are not much use for charging only keeping a full battery, full. [/QUOTE]
