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 would drop that much.

Does that seem correct ? I never really paid attention before.

Thanks

    I agree my fridge on the inverter pulls 30 amps at 12 volts
