Hello. Can someone please assist me?
I am testing a small setup and will hopefully one day scale it up but i seem to have an issue.
I have one 20 watt panel and one 12v 12ah sealed lead acid battery. At full charge pulling 13 watts ac via a 160 watt inverter i barely get 2 hrs from my battery. (should get aleast double that @50%)
I only take the battery down to 12.10 volts closed circuit for fear of discharging too much, should it go further than this? I have been getting conflicting State of Charge data for SLA batteries online. Some site say 50% is 12.06v some say 12.30. Can someone please help?
