Re: What is your Real Amp Hour per Day Usage

It's really hard to say.. Like others, our solar and wind are being used not only to recharge the batteries but also to power other equipment directly - Basically anything that's on the same service bus. The shunt only tells us what's going into our out of the battery bank.

So we can't depend on the battery shunt to give us an accurate figure on the amount of Ah consumed.

I can say that I know how much specific equipment consumes... Such as my fridge and out Engel fridge. I estimate that we are using about 120 to 140 Ah a day after the installation of our new fridge.

I do know that in the morning we are down an average of 89 Ah each day, which roughly equates to the use of our fridges.
