Famous answer: That depends. :D

What size battery do you have, and how depleted it is in the morning as the sun is coming up on on 'average' 24 hour day? For the sake of argument, on Saturday morning you set up camp with full batteries. What is you state of charge sunday morning? That will gauge approximately how much power you need as a starting point.
