In your case, I would get a Vmax charge tank. You will probably need to get the SOLAR series as well. This battery never runs out of charge, and is very heavy duty. I hooked one up to power several appliances and it was a lot tougher than I thought.

You get good quality for what you pay for

goodluck

Theoretically; to arrive at amperes draw, use Ohm's law. P(ower) = V(oltage) * I (Amperage). It gets re-arranged to A = Watts / Voltage. That's the RATED voltage, 120 V AC. 200/120 = ~1.67 A. Now, an Ampere / Hour is a constant draw of 1 Ampere for the time of 1 Hour, yes? So, 200 AH / 1.67 A = ~ 119 Hours.

The problem you're not seeing here is actually with the solar panel kit and hooking up the Xbox and monitor, etc. 12 V DC is not the same in anyway shape or form as 120 V AC which is what comes out that mysterious little socket in your walls. AC does not equal DC and 12 surely does not equal 120. So, got yourself a licensed inverter or are you going to wing it with one?

Here's a link to the term inverter, in case.

What are you trying to do this for? It's surely not to save money. You'll have to stay connected to the grid if you want to run anything else and even to run an xbox they won't last too long.

If you really want to do anything, get two panels and forget the battery. Hook the panels up to an empty breaker and have it feed power back to the grid while you're away during the day. No use saving expensive daytime power for use at night.

Cheap solar panels do not produce enough electricity to light a bulb.

Hello, I'm currently trying to power my room at night when I get off of work from a solar panel. I HAVE NOT PURCHASED ANYTHING YET

Currently the best panel for the price I can find is.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFCNFRM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A05654602L3XUQ70M87BV

I chose the slightly more expensive kit because it will make life a little easier when hooking it up to a battery and what not.

The battery I want to use is most likely this one or a lower AH one from the same company, I've done plenty of research on batteries and I want to go with an AGM because I don't want to deal with the maintenance as well as gases that regular batteries emit, since it will be in my room, right next to my bed... and it's relatively cheap compared to other batteries of the same AH, unless you guys have better deals somewhere else on other AGMs! :D

Now to my bigger question, how long would that battery last (200AH) when powering my XboX (150W) and a monitor (50W)? I tried to figure it out but then my head started to hurt..

For charging, I know that it will take a longggg time to charge the battery with just one panel, so eventually I'll get another one, so no need to tell me about charging and what not :P

Thank you!
