Trojan t-105 batterys are good but I think you might have a little better luck with the Interstate 220 I think that's what they are I have six of them, when we get back I am going to add the 2 solar panels I bought from AM Solar in Oregon. As it is right now I can go for two weeks with out charging the house batterys, and that with just a 10 watt panel. I wonder how long I will be able to go with 2 100 watt panels. After "She Who Must be Obeyed" goes back to work from summer vacation I am going to add 2 more panels.
Should beable to talk forever then. As it is I can use my 706 and my Bi-Pap machine, the tv and all the lights, I also have what are refered to a scene lights [the kind that are mounted on an ambulance] on the side of the RV they will light up about 75 yards.
