I can go 5 or 6 hours easy andonly see a 10 maybe 15% decrease in battery charge? (dont know exactly but its NOT at 40 or 50%) But I have not tested two or three days in a row (Yet) but I have a feelling if I manage my power use I could go three before I would have to charge them.
When your done for the night you need to turn this Aims inverter off (unless your plugged into shore power or Genny is running). THis inverter FAN will run continuous even with nothing else on.... This will drain your battery.
Also if you have the Aims "remote switch"....when the light is green the inverter is ON and your using 12 v power the entire time. If it is Yellow your using shore or Genny power and the auto Xfer switch is ON.
I turn mine off when not needed.

AGREED!
That's the best way to do it.
PS. I have 6mo old Interstate 12v Deep Cycle. So far I'm getting just about same results as you
