You just now need to figure out how to swap it on around 11.85V. Thats 80% depth of discharge for a deep cycle (aka the safe bottom of the deep cycle battery).
lol maybe you could even add a solar charger and a solar panel to your battery circuit and roof now. 100w solar panels are cheap!
If your typical 4 cylinder is 35% efficient peak, and the alternator is 65% efficient... 100w direct is like 440w on unburned gasoline.
