When will you be able to do the test powering the A/C?
I'm sorry that got started. That would be a test of the Magnum and the 100AH AGM and have nothing to do with the solar array and MPPT.
All I wanted was a method to draw down the battery enough to force the MPPT to draw maximum wattage from the panel. I accomplished that with the 117W draw. That was the objective of test#3. Test#3 was never about the A/C.
I have done tests with other 700W draws, microwave, drip coffee, induction stovetop hotplate to name a few. The answer is 30min with a 100AH AGM.
