"Forever" is a relative term.

Just turning on the engine is beyond "forever" for me.

Basic reason I had provided for 16, T-105s and solar panels until the
money ran outG.

A L/N 4800 machine goes a long way to minimize engine time.

It will give you 120A @ 2,000 alternator RPM which BTW, is a "hot"
rating, not "cold" as most competitors offer.
