Battery Sizing Worksheet
Use the following worksheet to calculate your battery needs. 
To ensure sufficient battery capacity, be generous when 
estimating the operating time per day for each of the loads 
you will run.
As your power requirements increase, you may need to use 
more than one battery to obtain sufficient capacity. Read 
 to determine whether 
two batteries are appropriate for the applications you intend 
to power.
