Just got the latest Aldi catalogue in the mail and was wondering if anyone here could give me some recommendations.
Would this 120W solar panel be enough to recharge a 26Ah battery during the day ready for the next night? The picture in the catalogue says "perfect for charging your 12v battery"... I am picturing that I would need to have the battery attached the the panel all day just to charge it a bit but I may be wrong. There are also some cheaper deals on ebay, but I am unsure of quality, etc...
Also the Aldi 40Ah battery seems good value at $99 but might be too good to be true.
I already have 2x26Ah batteries. But here is a list of the gear I typically use on a normal night.
NEQ6
Kendrick Dual Channel 4 Port Dew Controller (but only using 1 port say on half power)
I plan on adding to this list by also running my Canon 6D DSLR via these batteries along with a Peltier Cooler box (which will be taken from
this) I am building and I believe just the Peltier alone will use a lot of power. Also eventually I plan on using my Laptop and Lodestar autoguider in the field. I plan on being away for 3-4 nights at a time without any access to mains power.
That's a lot of gear I plan on using and a bit of time away from mains power. I just want some advice about my current power supply and what my next steps should be to power it all.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jason
