Thanks everyone!
I think am armed with enough info to start figuring this out now. The HandyBob blog really helped too. If I can get the 14.4 volts or so out of my DLS converter that might be the answer to the bulk of my long history of battery problems with slow death (rapid in reality). Will get a Trimetric 2030RV on order (or maybe an Xantrex LinkPro?) so I can "see" what is going on. Will check wiring and be more conservative with inverter usage and turn off at night. Already had a non powered LPG heater on list for other reasons so will bump that up the priority list. More solar to better match my useage/battery bank.
