I am confused what is being said. I do know that 12v lights get dimmer as voltage drops so amps draw actually goes down too. OTOH inverters do have "amps creep"
What I am not clear on is whether it is being claimed that you have the same Power capacity below the 10hr point of the 20 hr rate, but fewer AH left below the "50%" 10 hr point.
I am also asking how the watt meter measures its watts. If it gets a watt no matter how the amps /volts ratio is, then you are getting a funny number where the more amps you get Peukert is happening but the watts don't care.
As said I am confused.
