[QUOTE="condor22, post: 289747, member: 1932"] Had my van off mains in the driveway for over a week, it used 29AH. The battery was switched on and no lights or anything else was on other than the battery monitor. Today's weather was bleak, wet, windy and very overcast, so I switched the 2 x 100W panels on. The controller gradually builds up to Boost stage and was putting 8.5 to 10 amps in. The sun tried to break through for a few minutes but failed, but the output was briefly up to 14.8 amps. These UV/IR plus visible cells are great, but it also shows me to keep the battery on charge all the time wether mains or solar. Anyway, winter time in the Golden Triangle is no problem with this setup. [/QUOTE]
