I did use at the the lowest possible temperature. the numbers came from the manual.

So would more batteries be thw solution? or bumping up to a 24v inverter and switching my battery bank to run in 24v series?

I have the positive and negative connectors at opposite ends of my battery bank, and as far as inverter set up goes, I'm not sure what you mean beyond that. I do have my charge controller connected to the same posts as the inverter.

I can successfully run lamps and my gaming laptop at full power off this same system with no issue

4 12v deep cycle marine lead acid batteries in parallel, currently charged and reading 13v with no draw. I have 8 solar panels, but the sun is setting here now.

I've got a 2000w, 120V 60Hz inverter, that as soon as I plug in my 1500w, 120v, 60hz griddle into is immediately dropping to 10.7 volts and over heating. Do I need a bigger inverter, or is this one shot? I have nothing else plugged in, and have even tired running directly from the inverter with...

Thanks for breaking it down and crunching the numbers! I'm still figuring out what a volt amp and watt are so this was very helpful. Would a faster charge controller be a worthwhile investment as well? I see most folks on here recommending a 40a

The inverter reads it 12 and so does my analog voltmeter. When the fridge kicks in it drops to 10-10.4 and then jumps back up to 11.7, it will keep doing this every minute or so until I unplug to fridge. The battery is less than a month old and only sat in my garage for a couple weeks before...

I'm having trouble with my first time set up. I have a Coleman 120w panel, going to a 8.5a controller, to a 12v deep cycle marine battery. I'm using a 2000w inverter, and trying run an RV fridge off it. The fridge says it's 440w which seems high for such a small fridge, but even when running on...
