The unit doesn't seem to get hot as the batteries charge up pretty quick. It might pull 40 amps for a few minutes and then start ramping down to 15 amps in 15 minutes run time. We then shut the unit off and let the solar panel do the rest. The solar panel does a great job keeping the batteries topped off and really do most of the charging. The system has only consumed about 1.5 gallons of RUG in the 9 months it has been in service. Only on real busy flying weekends does the unit even get started.
