Well, I think I had to do a "recovery" as my voltage setpoints and running the Schumacher when the fridge was still cycling were undercharging it. I was very surprised by the In the red readings in December. All indications were that the battery was fully charged, and after reading so low, I could not get it to take anymore. I was planning on returning it after the Holidays and since then life has got in the way.
I'm pretty sure my Danfoss compressor controller says the cut off is 16.5v when run on 12 volts nominal. Not sure about the inverter but am not sure the solar could hold 15.3v if I am running the inverter in Daylight hours.
Which is another aspect, The voltage swinging when the fridge compressor kicks on.
I need one more switch to divert solar to one battery or the other independent of load. Right now the solar is connected to the Common Load Stud on the switch.
Not sure I have room for another switch.
