To try and explain with more detail, it may help to look at a charger that 'experts' recommend all the time for use in Motorhomes/Caravans. B. Stop charging when the battery is gassing freely and the battery-voltage shows no increase over a period of at least 2 hours.

Leisure and marine batteries are known as deep cycle types. This means they provide long-term energy delivery and are capable of a much greater number of deeper discharge cycles than automotive, or car, batteries.

I've been told by other Globecar owners that the compressor fridge will use circa 48Ah per 24-hours. If you do ever deep discharge the battery down past 50%, I would suggest you think about using some other charger to take the initial 10 minute load of charging, like the Alternator, etc. I understand that Solar works for you, but maybe our new enquirer only uses the vehicle to Ski during the Winter months, a time during which he also needs three times as much power for heating, yet will get only about 5Ah a day out of a 100watt panel.
