I would be using it in remote locations, but not as remote if I had a Synchro per-say.  

 

Uses would include;

 

Interior lights at night for cards and reading, sink pump while camping and maybe a little music here and there.  Maybe plug in Laptop to upload pictures.  The main reason is to protect against draining the main battery so I can drive the 30 miles of gravel or what not to get back to civilization.   

 

 

I am  never really anywhere too long and usually there is driving to run shuttles for the drift boat, which would re-charge the battery a little I would think?
