Battery question: How much juice does a stock FD use on a day of nonuse?
I am thinking of going to a smaller battery, but I dont' drive my 7 week to 2 weeks at a time, so I have to think of a way to trickle charge the battery, I've found a solar panel charger that does
1.8 watts rated power at 15 volts operating voltage.
is that enough to keep the battery fully charged? Or would it drain more than it can charge? What would be a perfect amount?

if you're going with an odyssey battery get a battery tender to trickle charge it. www.odysseyfactory.com and www.batterytender.com have details about it.

If I remember right, watts divided by volts equals amps, so.....1.8 divided by 15 = 120 milliamps that your solar charger will provide.
