I have changed all lights light to LED in the van, each light draws 160mA. two reading lamps,two over head lights, sink light, stove light and outside light, all LEDS.
Exhaust fan is 80mm computer fan, 60mA.
All the above would not draw much off an 100amp D.C. Battery. The only thing that draws high amps is the
water pump that's only really used twice a day and not for long. Shurflow 12 lpm. 12v.
TV is lap top, so only recharges from car inverter.
I feel that i should get over a week with this set up.
comments please on my calculations.
cheers shane.

Hi Maric,
I got them from Hong Kong when i was there. Pads off 40 Leds $2.00 each and pads of 50 Leds $3.00 each. they work great and are nice and
bright.
Also bought 50 metres of heat shrink 8mm black for $10.00, here we pay around $5.00 per metre.
cheers shane.

pump draws 3amps min and 7amps max, so with all the lights on i think its 1.44amps total so lights dont really come into it. If i use pump at minimum maybe two hours over a week there should be plenty.
cheers shane.
