I suggest you use a solar controller on the solar charger, if the machine works a couple of hours a day, You should keep the battery charged constantly, that’s why the solar controller will help you in this and will avoid your battery fry.

What do you mean for long distance use?

Thanks

Hey. I have a 110v 10 amp hyrdrogen sulfide reading machine from Arizona Instruments. Would a 200w panel to car battery to converter power this machine if the machine only ran a maximum of a couple hours a day? The panel puts out roughly 13 amps in ideal conditions.

Is it possible to regulate a 12 volt solar charger so you can charge a 6 volt battery?

@Toni

I think you’ll need 2 types of solar chargers:

A foldable one (Like Brunton) of more than 25 watt to power your devices (phones, cameras, etc…)

and a power back up kit like the Coleman CL-3600 Solar Backup Power Kit.

Consider also having data on solar radiation on your zone, season to calculate the right facing and panels inclination to maximize solar power capture.

I am looking for some help in figuring out what I need to do what I want. I’m buying a vw camper next week and taking a road trip for several months. I want to take solar power with me to power a small fridge (new), my basic electronics (laptop, camera, cellphone) and possibly an electric appliance like a small george foreman grill. How much wattage do I need to run those things? Is it as simple as adding up what it says on the labels? The grill says 760 watts, so I’m confused. that sounds like an awful lot. I’m just a beginner here, and trying to figure these things out, so sorry if my questions sound dumb. Thanks.

You can consider an I pad charger or something related to little home appliances.
