How big is your house battery bank? POLL

[TomC]

I have 2-8D Lifeline AGM batteries for a total of 510 amp/hours.  I also have a 2500watt Trace MSW (Modified Sine Wave) inverter that can power the plugs in the kitchen, microwave, primary 10gal water heater (the other water heater is wired straight to the power panel), bathroom heater, lights, etc.  I do not run any of the A/C's on the inverter.  Hence, like Geoff, when boon docking, just run the generator in the morning for coffee, toaster oven and warming up the water heaters (we take morning showers), and at night to top off the batteries.  About 2-3 hours a day of generator running.

Depending on my final refrigerator use in my truck, if I use the NovaKool, I'll use 4 L16 6vdc Lifeline AGM's for a total of 800amp/hours.  If I go with a Summit refrigerator, I'll use 6 L16's for a total of 1200 amp/hours.  Good Luck, TomC

I am like Nellie. I couldn't even vote because I don't know what all that jargon means. I have 4 golf cart batt. for house. Works pretty good. When they get low while goondocking, we start the gen.

I totally understand all the battery talk, but--
What the heck is 'Goondocking'? Inquiring minds want to know LOL

I have one 8D Lead acid for house and a 2200 watt inverter. Separate battery for Generator start. We're usually plugged in but when we do boondock I don't run the 7000 watt Kohler; instead i bring the little Honda 2k and run it a couple hours a day to charge the 8D. Everything is propane so we don't use much AC power.
