I need to replace the 230ah battery that the last owner of my van fitted about 18months ago. It will only run my 15" LCD for less than 3 hours. It gradually drops to 12.3v over 3 hours then plummets to 10.5v. As the TV only uses about 4Amps and I know that the charging is working + I have 2 large solar panels with a volt meter.
What size battery do I really need?
We use the van all year so the 220W solar panels keep us going most the year, and we have a small genny for emergencies. We have all LED lights TV uses 4Amps + we use the blown air heating.
Would a 110Ah battery be good enough to get us through a night of the kids watching TV and the Truma heating on for a bit? Or should I go for something between 180 and 220AH or 2 x 75Ah batteries.
I am a costco member and have been told that they sell Bosch 110Ah batteries, so I could always get one and see how I go because they will take it back if I am not happy.
Any advice would be appreciated
