Last report was that with the wiring zoo before, I got about 30 minutes of microwave time at 65 amps (average) and the inverter alarmed at 11.1 volts with the SiO2 at 60% SOC
With the new set- up (see photo in earlier post) and over 3 days, this inverter was on a lot and the microwave was on for about 20 minutes total, plus minor 120v loads and the inverter on standby.
Battery showing 12.1 on return home, ran inverter and microwave for about 15 minutes till it alarmed at 11.0 v and quit at 10.5v , then voltage bounced back to 11.7, which is 20% SOC on the SiO2.
Very pleased with that! :) I still have room for improvement using fatter wires inverter-battery and to run the inverter's remote on/off switch to inside the camper to reduce wasted battery on standby.
So being able to run the "700w" MW with the single 100AH battery down to 20% is HUGE (IMO). Gives those Li guys some competition there! :)
