    Been running everything in my gun shed off of it, so the main unit is down to 77%, and the expansion battery is down to 75%.

    Recharge off the wall?
    Curious as to the recharge rates -
    On mine, it's like 12hrs on gen or 110 (if single input)
    If the gen is running anyway...good to top it up, but..dayum.

    The generator arrived before the expansion battery. The generator by itself took about 2 hours to fully charge off the wall from 24%. The expansion battery had 34% charge when it arrived, it took about an hour and a half to fully charge off the wall. The one day it wasn't threatening rain, I charged up the generator by itself from 70% off the 200w panel in about 5 hours, it was mostly cloudy.

    That's pretty good. Yours are much bigger than my hand-carry one. Feel free to jump in my gen thread if you want... especially if you have fixed panels, lol.

    I was thinking about fixed panels before I researched. Decided to buy (for my first anyway) the Rich Solar suitcase 200w hard panels. Being able to align them to the sun gets the best performance. Plus if I have to bug out, they're a bit heavy, but portable.
