Dang running an A/C? Even 4 may be a push. Sounds like a lot of "high amps use".

Well thats with compressor cycling on and off and the fan setting on low...I probably ran the air only about 5-6 times during brief roadside stops since its too much trouble to set up the portable genny for a brief stop...On one occasion I forgot and ran it even longer, for over an hour (augmented by 440w solar) and per LinkLite meter the SOC (programmed at 200amp hrs) had dropped to just below 60%...When running the honda, the inverter will momentarily kick in (for about 3 sec’s <. >) during each compressor start-up then transfer the load back to the genny...The point here is that these batts have seen some harder use than their 3.5 years would even suggest..
More recently (separate from the above history) I installed an easy-start on the compressor...Then, a few months back I had to replace a bad AC run-cap due to about a 3 amp higher than spec measured amp draw.
The automatic watering set-up worked perfectly, as when I finally pulled the batts out for the first time ever, all the cells were properly submerged...Considering my previous set of batts, the watering system has been in use for 8.5 years!!
