I have 4 x 240AH 6V Batteries that I charge with 2 x 200w solar panels. In full sun I am getting 12A charge so I wanted to check my math...
In order to fully charge my batteries, I am trying to figure out the time it would take.
240AH x 4 = 960 Ah / 12 Ah = 80hrs to fully charge the batteries.
This seems like a lot, and it would mean that for a full day of sun 10hrs I would only charge back about 12% and it doesn't seem right.
I seem to consume about 40% of the batteries on an average day using a all house inverter, TVs etc and I was hoping 400w of solar panels would be enough to cover that usage.
Is my math correct? Can anyone share their experience for that matter?
