no need to discharge the batteries the day before
just connect the inverter and turn on a load greater than the max output of your solar
the solar will be putting out max all day trying to keep up with the load , which will gradually out pace the solar and by evening your batteries will be partially discharged and you can recharge the next day
but the 21st will give you a max solar reading ( if the weather co-operates )
Thanks Mr. Wizard. It is a hike to the storage lot so I am trying to visit only once a day. I could do what you are saying in the morning. But the load would still be on the battery until pre-dawn the next morning.
I am equalizing the sacrificial group 27 battery tonight. It may be working hard for a week or two.
