so the wizard has been on the 2 marines for about 3 hrs. Voltage at batteries started at 13.6 and has steadily climbed to 14.2. Wizard still showing bulk, and I guess it will for another hour? Batteries were down to about 40 percent. It will be a good test to see how they perform after a proper charge.
I've been thinking that I have been using a LOT of power with the lights I have in the rig, along with the fridge, and the fantastic fan running at night. I have six banks of the small flourescent tubes( maybe 12 in? ) with 2 tubes in each, on and off all evening. Anybody know how much they draw? That along with normal use of water pump for 4 or 5 people
Going to LED will run between 2-300 dollars for everything. I'm thinking If my 2 current batteries are not shot, this would be a better investment than the two 6 volts for this year anyway. I really don't use anything else that consumes a lot of power.
Lots more testing to do now that I'm on the right track with the proper converter and wizard
