I posted that I drew 700W or 800W loads as measured by a KAW. If anyone is running a conventional microwave with 1500 or so Watts of draw from a 53lb AGM, we are not on the same page.
My inverter is 1000W and over the years I have been selecting compatible 120V appliances.

I am grateful for your previous posting of those results as it steered me toward the single AGM for the TC. Mostly needed to run the electric-only fridge for a while, which is lower amps stuff. It will stay above inverter alarm somewhat longer than a flooded would too.
My test here was to see how it did with extra big draws, not as a trial run for how things will be done. It proved that I can get away with the one AGM, but not with those size draws. If I need to run big watt items off-grid I need to have more battery AH, whether AGM or Flooded.
