[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 308248, member: 704"] Yes they are high wattage. The microwave in the camper is 950 watt, but how long do you run it? Maybe one or two minutes? My wifes hairdryer is 850 watt, and 1250 watt. We read that anything 1000 watt and above damages hair roots so she only runs it on 850 watt. She may run that for five or six or even ten minutes. Compared to 200 watts and hour for six hours and about 100 watts for much of the rest of the day it's no problem. Low wattage for a long time supplies enough power for high wattage for a short time. I have been watching a lot of utube videos on this and it requires a lithium charger or the lithium batteries will not last that long. Battle Born has a guarantee for 10 years, but not if you destroy it with the improper charger. Between expensive batteries and expensive chargers, and also a pain in the rear rewiring the entire camper electrical box I think I give up. Even the AGM I already have should have a special charger. I don't like all the hassle getting this going so I think I'll stick with lead acid to go with my solar panel and 2200 watt inverter that I have. I have learned a lot though and purchased 2 gauge wire to link my batteries in parallel. I had only ten gauge. That 1/0 gauge I had to buy to run from the batteries to the inverter was some expensive wire. [/QUOTE]
