I guess you're not going to say if you have any AC outlets, which I
take as a "no".

Sure, and either audit contains different numbers each time you post
it. One day it's 20 liters per week, the next it's 20 liters per ISO
fortnight. One day a load is 59W, the next it's 150W. One day you have
a cake mixer <snorf>, the next it becomes invisible. But some things
always stay the same - nobody believes you're honest or competent.

No, your battery maker clearly recommends a float voltage between 13.2
and 13.44 (pg 10)

15-13.44=.5 .... on Planet Nitwit.

Agreed, and you've clearly chosen to be an ignorant prevaricator.
