Boondocking using HEATING PAD
I'm just not good at figuring this stuff out and I am to Old to start now so I am asking you...... LoL I have 2 12volt Deep Cycle Batteries with the following according to the NAPA Web Site... Batt...

i never have a 10 watt load
even turning on the kitchen CFL ligts is 18w
the main load for the go power is the laptop with external drives
of course the TV and DVD are on the same power strip and in standby mode, i never have tested it with a 10watt incandescent resistive load
our trip-lite PV1250 has adjustable load sense and only power the fridge and also draws less than 1 amp, on standby, 2 amps no loss idle if I turn off the loss sense , even the fridge light bulb will not turn it on
when we open the door the light blinks on and off unless the fridge compressor is running
I think PT & BFL have done extensive go power load testing

WAIT! Let me explain my "error"! I forgot! Some inverters have a SEARCH MODE. BUT BUT BUT, load your inverter with a 70 watt load. You are saying your inverter has a greater than 90% efficiency with a 70 watt load?
OK I'll bite...
70 watts at 12.5 volts is 5.6 amperes
The moment your inverter goes off of SEARCH MODE and into power mode, say with a 10 watt load, what is the battery DC burden then?
At 70 watts A.C. load what is the exact D.C. burden on the batteries. As measured with an accurate ammeter?
