How do L16's fare under heavy inverter loads?
I realize that I'm probably the only one with these batts here but maybe someone has some in an off-grid home and are familiar with how they run under heavy load? 6V seem to exhibit more voltage drop ...

I have 4 L16's, 370Ah each. ... I want to run a combo MW/convection oven (~150A while running) for a good 20-25 minutes a pop. We don't use the MW portion. Probably once a day while camping. We're not full timers so it's just going to be for a 3-4 day weekend, once a month max. So that's why I'm concerned about voltage drop.
It sounds like you have the batteries and the convection oven. Have you tried it? Are you getting low voltage inverter shutoff?
I noticed that Trojan specs a 5 hour capacity for their T-105s, but not for the L-16. I don't have experience with them, but I'm surprised if they hit 10.5v pulling 50-60AH out of a 740AH bank, even if the rate is high at 150A.
