we have 2 15" lcd TV's at home, one of the adapters is rated at 40W, the other at 60W. The lower one is just an analogue TV, the higher one is a digital TV with dvd player.

If yours is approx 40W then 2 hours use will use just under 7aH. In the summer it would take your solar panel less than 2 hours to replace, in the spring or autumn probably 3 hours.

Hi

Look at the back of the TV. It will either tell you the current used or the wattage. Our 17" LCD TV uses 38 watts. Divide the watts by 12 ie just over 3 amps, so with your 110 ah battery the TV will flatten the battery in 110/3 or about 37 hours. You should not run the battery right down but this figure should give you a guide.

Dont forget to make sure you have a voltage stabaliser connected between your 12v TV and the socket ( unless you TV has one built in ) apparently hi tec stuff like TV`s  dont like voltage fluctuation and could damage it ( just found this out myself but luckily mine has one built in .

How on earth do you go away without a tele? If I miss Coro ,I'd have to leave home at 21.00 on a friday if I didn't take the box.
