k...looking at using 14 A/hr 12VDC battery.  In theory if I have a 480mA cu=
rrent source at 18V from a solar array, it would take 2 hours to charge bac=
k 1 A/hr of =

  capacity....?  I need to keep a constant 12VDC, so plan on using a boost =
convertor
  and monitor the battery itself to keep it from discharging below around 9=
 or 10V.
   =

  If the load itself is 1.2A, I'm actually thinking that 14A/hr battery act=
ually wont suffice
  since that would again in theory, allow a total 1.4A draw for 10 hours, b=
ut means it will drop the battery voltage to zero?  Not a good thing to do =
to a battery.  And I have to have the total draw of about 8 to 10 hours.
   =

  So maybe a pair of batteries, or split the load to a set of batteries may=
be?
