You should be able to get the battery at any local battery shop or marine shop. I requires a 63 AH battery and an AGM battery would be recommended as they last longer than the standard wet cell batteries.

The manufacturer does not offer a larger inverter, you can add solar panels and batteries to store more power but that won't give you additional wattage.

Question

What is the charge time?

Given that everything is condition dependant, how long will this rig take to fully charge a 63Ah battery in a best case scenario? Also, in a best case scenario, what is the ouput per hour and what does that translate to in regards to battery capacity?

Staff Answer
When in ideal sun, a 140 watt crystalline panel will produce about 9 Ah per hour. Although many variables apply, most places usually get about 5-6 hours of good sun a day. A 63Ah battery would take about 7 hours of ideal sun to charge. The maximum output of of the unit is 1400 watts(12 amps) continuously. Amp hours are measured on a 20 hour rate. A 100Ah battery would run an item drawing 5 amps for 20 hours. As the draw gets larger, the battery will produce less than the rated capacity. If drawing 10 amps, the battery will produce 93Ah, and if drawing 100 amps, the battery will produce approximately 60Ah.
