 Starter batteries are designed for about 15% depth of discharge((http://forum.solar-electric.com/discussion/comment/60412#Comment_60412)).  We can set the Low Voltage Disconnect (//Vlvd//) to 12.5-12.6v as a floor.  In a typical starter battery this could be 5Ah of power usable at night, enough to run an LED light for hours as well as run a small fan all night.  All device charging should happen in daylight when power is relatively plentiful.
-If the starter battery (when it eventually dies a natural death) were replaced with [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery#chain_store_batteries|a 12v wally world marine battery]] one might be able to cycle to 25% DoD.  This would mean an Vlvd of ~12.4v and 8-9Ah of power at night.
