there is your drawn down test
Thanks:)! And I actually knew that equaled 300W/25A. But what I did not know is if the 8-12A parasitic drain, as well as Inverter inefficiencies played into this as well?
300W/25A + 8-12 parasitic drain + inverter inefficiencies could be 32-42 Amp draw?
When doing these more specific yearly capacity audits, I interpreted the Lifeline Tech Manual on doing this capacity audit to be rather 'specific'. Thus my comment about figuring out new gear to be able to get a fine 25A draw down. Maybe I'm over thinking this - not the first time:)!
Appreciate making sure I knew the light bulb/watt to amp math,
