[QUOTE="condor22, post: 422502, member: 1932"] Re the time operating - The charging loads that I will measure, for my gear, will be much the same, wether I have used them for 5 hours or 10 hours (assuming they last that long, lol). The primary difference is obvious in that, the longer you use something, the lower the State of Charge (SOC). It then equates to time, as to how long each item will take to be fully charged. What I can confidently say is that; If all of the above were placed on charge from a van or auxiliary battery in the late afternoon, left overnight to charge, they would all definitely be fully charged by breakfast the next day and with no ill effect to the source charging battery SOC. Whilst I do these tests I'm adding another for my benefit - I have a 150W PSW Inverter and also a 240VAC Ultrasonic Ring Cleaner. I know it works from the Inverter, but don't know what the load on the van is, so I'll test that and post the results. Plus whilst I have the Inverter in use, I'll connect the noted equipment to it to do a comparative test as I have 240VAC chargers for all of them. I expect a significant difference. [/QUOTE]
