This morning turned off refer went to my Doc/Chirop appointments. Returned 3hours later.
12noon. Temp 86 degrees. eagle in shade in carport.
Deployed 60 watt portable panel. Charging amps 3.7.
Turned on refer to start cool down cycle. Unit temp 86*. Charging amps dropped to + 1.4
Engle took 30 minutes to lower temp to 39*-drawing 2.6 amps on Trimetric ( divided by 2= 1.6 amps net/hour)
Turned on fan on medium speed setting - Charging amps dropped to. - minus ( point) 6 amps.
Conclusion : 60 watt too small
