What are the power requirements of your appliances?
The last 2 days of the trip we shut off the freezer, that cut the discharge rate way down.
normally the engine driven alternator keeps the battery pack at 13+ volts with the freezer running, and normal use of the appliances.
Today we test the alternator, see if it produces 13.1 volts or more = step one square one.
the bi-directional isolator will not connect to it if it isn't higher than 13.1 v
