I use a 85 watt solar panel to keep my fivers batteries charged at all times. It is amazing when dry camping, the last trip (10 days dry camping) I used the generator once to run the microwave. I have two 12v deep cycle Optimas, that are about 4 years old and still going strong.
The solar charge controller prevents the batteries from being overcharged. When stored the battery voltage is 13.2 volts, when in use the voltage stays between 12.4 and 13.0 volts. Every night the little woman has to watch at least two DVD's (on a 20 inch TV) and even dries here hair some nights with a 12VDC drier.
