That's Dan for that long and complete answer. You rock.

I'm surprised of what you say about lead batteries. I currently have 2x100ah fully charged with an isolator, plugging my laptop get them down to 11.5v within 15 minutes.

Sure I use a crap 12/220v convertor which probably double my consumption. Getting a proper 12v laptop charger will be my next move, but it won't be enough.

7 charges on a single 100ah lead battery, I would love that ! Considering how cheap that is.

Driving every day is not an option. My lifestyle involve long period of dedicated work before I move on to the next spot.

Hello,

I am changing my batteries and solar pannel to work fully remotely from the van. I might need to have the laptop plugged up to 14h a day (a macbook pro, 80w). Sometime overnight.

I am wondering if 2 gel batteries (200ah) and a 120w solar pannel would be enough.

When I'm asking profesionnals, they always want to sell me those very expense Lithium batteries. It might be overkill for a single laptop.

What do you think ?
