KJ,
How many amperes do you need from the battery?

I want to put a battery (see other thread) and a solar panel together
to be able to run my radio POTA/ARES, but while I can math my way into
what I think I need, I’d like to hear from folks doing it,
empirically, to get feedback on what’s actually worked/didn’t in the
field. My math says a 55AH deep cycle with a 220W solar kit should do
really well during the day, but I’ll still need to curb power at
night, assuming a 25% duty cycle. If I want a 50% duty cycle for
FT-8, the numbers (read: costs) aren’t fun to think about….
Who’s doing this, and what can you teach me?
