I have 2 Battelborn batteries wired in parallel and run a few items off of the system, most notably a TV and a 12v portable refrigerator (Alpicool C20).
We had a stretch of almost no sunshine for 3 days and I was still around 68% SOC going into last night.
Weatherman said we were going to get a massive winter storm here in Eastern NC with pockets of snow 10" deep in some places. Sounded like "car hits utility pole weather" to me so I busted out my PD9130LV charger and charged the Battleborns up to full capacity just in case there was a power outage.
Now that the sun has come up on Eastern NC I probably should have just let the endurance test run. We got a whopping 1/4" of snow which is already almost gone.
I probably played it straight though. I'd be singing a different tune this morning if the power had went out.
Probably have to wait a while for the next opportunity at extended periods of total cloud cover.
