Backyard boondocking - 600w load test
It was surprisingly hard to find 500+watts of steady load around the house that still fit within the limits of my inverter (10ish year old Vector 700/1400 watt unit). Everything was either too big (e....

Based on my earlier results I expect to put 72.1 Ah back in to get back to where I was, replacing the 62.848 drawn in the test, which I believe was still not quite charged. It Took multiple amp hours to get from 12.89 to 12.90 before the test, and over 3 ah to get from 12.90 to 12.91 which was the starting point for this test.
