40 Amp draw from batteries to run Microwave?
When running my microwave on high I noticed the battery voltage dipped to 11.6 and the input side of the 2,000 Samlex inverter was only drawing 40 DC amps or so. I didnt think that 4 T105's voltage...

I didnt think that 4 T105's voltage would drop that much.

How long does it take to get down to 11.6VDC?
At 900W AC pull my 4 GC2s will eventually drop at least a full volt after a full charge (12.7 -> 11.6). Takes a while though. I can heat up but not boil a litre of water at 900W before the 1000W PSW inverter starts complaining about the low DC voltage.
So we're cooking/heating low and slow when using the batteries. And it just amazes me how much energy it takes to heat up water. We fry eggs rather than boil them.
My amps are ~86A at ~900W. Maybe you missed a digit and it's actually 140A?
