So my battery fully charged has 100 Amps?
And running a DC pump for a 1/2 hour per day uses 1.5 amps?
So two pumps would draw 3 amps a day?
I could go two weeks before using near half the battery, and then do a recharge at home on a regular battery charger.
I could do that no problem. No panel needed.
Now if I hit a homerun with sales, maybe I will buy a panel and enjoy the convenience of never moving the battery.
