Thanks, that's good news then. Its a plastic solar shed / shack so I will only be sleeping in it when my wife says so - lol.
Cheers, I will start saving the pennies.
My current batteries were rescue batteries so they don't last long when there is no sun.
I hope to never go below 50%, so will get a few of them and over provision. It will be an ad-hock affair I think.
I think I want AGM, as I read they are low resistance and maintenance free, and I wanted a high capacity battery so I don't have to parallel too many to get what I want.
The shack panels are facing west, so only get afternoon/evening sun, but they don't suffer from shading, and I have the capacity to add the same again on the east side to get the morning sun. It's a case of working with what I have, and making the best I can.
At the moment my entire load is less than 500W, but that will increase I would imagine, FWIW I only use the shack during the day, and everything is off at night, and would likely only use it for 5 hours at a time, every other day at the max, and never during the winter time.
