Or do I have to add more solar to fully charge battery. And if I can’t judge voltage without resting at what point do I need to turn off load so I won’t ruin battery?
I appreciate you replying, I’ve always thought your reply’s were helpful, non judgemental and informative. I can almost picture you scratching your head in confusion. Lol. Thank you. I envy those with analytical minds. Mine doesn’t work that way. If you’ve ever watched Kathleen Madigan I totally understand her skit about her brother explaining the deficit….

To really answer your question about running the fridge and other loads all night you need to do real world measurements over several days. Same with the question about recharging.
For $18 you cam get this meter which will measure up to 100 amps in either direction and keep track of accumulated Watt-Hours into/out of your battery:

Start your test with a full battery and see what happens to your existing battery status as the days go by. You should be able to see if you are running at a surplus or deficit of stored energy and what that surplus of deficit is.
