Not Almot's Toasted Cheese Sandwich

I have sinned again! :( I made a toasted cheese sandwich in the most awful way using my "oversized inverter" and wasted tons of energy. I even measured how bad it was as a lesson to others who might be so tempted----be strong out there--stronger than I ! :(

Before starting:( mid-day, sun out, blue sky, solar on)

14.4v, 7.1a charging, -1.24 AH on the clock.

Started toaster from 2000w MSW inverter:
13.1v down to 12.4v, -40.9a,---- toaster pops:
13.1v, 18.3a charging, -3.12AH on the clock.(back to -2.59 before MW)

Butter toast, insert cheese, stick in MW for 30 seconds:
12.5v, -88.0a, -2.99 AH after 30secs.

Cost to Planet Earth: 2.99-1.24 = 1.75 AH. (the shame is hard to bear)

Ate sandwich anyway. Looked at Trimetric while wiping crumbs off face ( I am a tidy sort of sinner)
14.3v, 5.7a charging, -0.23AH. on the clock.

Hey that's more than before I made the sandwich. Almot will strike me down anyway...I was so bad. Sob! :)

Just before posting this soon after:
13.7v (controller float) , 3.6a charging, 0.51 AH (it is going "over" today, so will reset AH later on)
