Yes, Igor that is when you bring out the hampster, a tread mill and a 6 pack
of brew.

My experience shows that bigger solar panel is safer. My 60W panel in real
life gives less then 1 A on a cloudy day and about 4 A on a bright sunny day
when the sun is in its zenith. It also has USB and 12V output which can be used
for telephone or iPad charging. Unfortunately rainy days here are more often
then sunny :(

I use a Mercury 27 W foldable from Instapark.com with a 9.9 AH Life04 and
runs the KX3 all day and most of the night plus it has a USB port to charge the
laptop.

I am using 60W foldable solar panel, Genasun MPPT controller
https://genasun.com/products-store/mppt-solar-charge-controllers/ (they
are RF quiet) and 5500 AH LiFePo4 battery with built it limiting
circuitry which some outlets are selling as a substitute for lead acid
motorcycle batteries. All works just great with KX3. When using K3 I add
one more solar panel and 25 AH LiFePo4 battery. This proved to be enough
to keep going the whole day.
