So a little complicated question. I am intending to buy a new battery. The place I live is "off grid" and I need a good battery to be able to run my heater/fridge.
Now, I currently have a 75Ah AGM battery. It does not last long enough to keep me warm in the winter (I got it last year). The problem is I can only charge a battery for a certain amount of time, while our "large" generator is running and charging the "main" batteries (there is a house on the property).
I am not entirely sure tho if it makes sense for me to buy a significantly more expensive say 200Ah battery as I am not sure if it would ever fully charge in let's say 6 hours? My converter info sticker says input 12A, output 55A (charging plus load). I can run a cable directly from the generator (it's a huge wacker 8000).
Is there any way to figure it out? Tools? Additional information I'd need? I'm new at this...
