It’s time to add up all that power usage. You’ll
find by the time everyone wakes up the next
morning, in the order of 140Ah has been
drained from the van’s batteries!
Admittedly, this scenario doesn’t take into
account any charging that may happen after
you initially pull up. What it does show is that
whatever charging system you have for freecamping,
be it solar or generator, you now
know how many amp hours you’re going to
have to generate and feed back into those
batteries before everyone goes back to bed
the next day.
You'd be surprised by how much
power is required to recharge laptops.
Next month, we will look more closely at solar
power and discover just how difficult it can be
for it to keep up with your 12V power
requirements.
