Battle Born Charging
This might answer some recent questions. The table is not accurate wrt to the BB comments--don't go by it by the table itself. Wade through the questions and answers to get the true picture. Tak...

Here are readings from charging only with solar, at 09:30 the fridge was turned over to electric (cycling through out the day). It just happened that at the recording times the fridge was consuming power every time. Unless it's an overcast/ rainy day this is basically the way the system is used everyday the rest of the year till fall sometime. I didn't add any readings from the microwave use during the day it would just add another 144a inverting on top of the other loads during that period of time.
I did turn the fridge off 12:47 after that reading just show the extra amps charging even at that high SOC (I would normally just leave the fridge on electric till the end of the day), then turned it back on at 13:00 just when the absorbed end and the float started. I would leave the fridge on cycling to roughly 95% SOC before switching back to propane, doing this extends the refill time on a 30# tank from 17-19 days to 23-25 days.
If you add the "charging" amps from the GBS display to the "Inverting" amps (loads being powered) that will show the total being produced.
Example at 09:31 18.9a (charging), -30a (loads)= 48.9a from solar (659 watts).
After switching to float the inverting loads are being covered by solar.
Here are solar production from past days.
