- enough to know i shouldnt touch things i know nothing about ....
For the non techies out there, and I include myself in that, perhaps my recent experience will help ...
I am on a site in Holland and electricity is supplied at a cost of €1 for 2kw, but how does that relate to usage/ battery top up etc? I'm sure there is a formula but as a real life example .....
We have a 304Ah lithium that was down to around 50%, solar wasn't great so I thought why not try the provided supply and see?
€1 provided 2kw at a 16A supply. It almost completely recharged the battery before iwe had used the full 2kw AND we had several drinks via the electric kettle plus ran the inverter (for starlink) throughout the period. We made sure the fridge stayed on gas as charging the battery was the main reason (after being off grid for a couple of days). It took a few hours of course to recharge and if the supply was lower (6A) it would have taken much longer.
Hope the practical/real life experience helps?
