120Ah dare I ask what exactly you're powering with that lot

Rather than splashing out on large batteries and solar panels, it might be worth thinking about low consumption devices...just a thought

As a frame of reference, I run my EQ6, cooled astro camera, laptop and dew straps from a 55Ah battery that will run for 2 nights with a little headroom. I then use a solar panel to recharge it within a couple of hours...
