I read somewhere on this forum that a "true" deep cycle battery takes a much longer time to recharge on solar than a "normal" car battery. I have a Group 27 "dual purpose" battery. If I use my very small 600W microwave for 4 minutes, it takes my Zamp 200W about 18 minutes to recharge based on my calculations. Can I reduce that re-charge time with a true deep cycle battery - or will it make the re-charge time longer?

I'm sure someone else here that is more mechanically-inclined can chime in and let me know if my old physics knowledge has become obsolete.
OutbackAZ, you can warm up food in a saucepan or a skillet on the stove. Yes, even those microwave entrees. I warm up the rice in those 90 second packages in a saucepan frequently (without the package). Sometimes you just have to think outside of the frozen entree box ;-)

You're both right - I never learned to cook. That's why I LOVE the microwave! I also bought a 2,000 watt inverter and quick battery cable disconnect for my beloved micro.
