Thanks David!

Battery bank - 520, watts, so the 160 is definitely not an option

You may be right. My biggest drop so far has been to about 65%. The unit is sitting tonight with lights, fans, and TV’s on. I’m going to take them down to about 15% and see if that changes anything.

Installed a new converter to support the lithium batteries. Progressive Dynamics 9160AL.

It should be giving me 60 Amps output and I’m only getting 30 (minus the 12v draw at the time)

RV is in the shop. Working on battery upgrade for when warranty work is complete.

Anyone know the useable dimensions of the battery compartment?
