    how many hour full charge 110 ah battery and 80w solar panel ??

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Moo Andal says:

    This car battery doesn’t fit solar system. You need a deep cycle battery. Also, your 80 w PV is too small for a big battery like this. That means, you need a 24 hours of sun every day to charge that 110 AH battery. Impossible.
    Thank you.
