I do but are you saying that they need to be at the same output instead of one drained and one fully charged??You NEED to make sure the batteries are the same or very similar voltage before you charge them.
You got 22v which is a good sign. Do you have a multi-meter?
ALL inverters will consume power. During the day they will be stealing it from your solar panels. During the night the will steal it from your batteries.I thought that I could leave the Inverter on at all times since I believed it only consumed the load you are drawing from it?
I'm going to go check it now. Thank youVOLTAGE .. size and type has nothing to do with current voltage or general health.

This would be a terrible situation and would not give you a good experience.one drained and one fully charged??
No. You should individually charge the 9v one to start recovery.The 1st battery is at 13hv the 2nd is at 9. Is that OK or no?

This is what you need to prevent by measuring voltage

Nope, not ok.The 1st battery is at 13hv the 2nd is at 9. Is that OK or no?
Yes sir!! It is currently charging on an Automotive charger before I install it again.This is the third time:
You MUST charge each 12V individually on a 12V charger until full. Period.
Don't do anything else until you've completed this.
So you guys were right. I plugged in the bug zapper and I think the battery charge lasted but 5 hours to run the bug zapper and the drill battery chargers. Now what to do next....an additional solar panel or bigger batteries!Now I guess I will buy the 2nd solar panel and bridge it together to complete the system. I hope tge batteries aren't too small to store the power

I believed that when the tool batteries get a full charge that it wouldn't consume much energy??
Maximum Voltage | 12 Volts |
---|---|
Maximum Power | 200 Watts |
That would be to follow sunshine_eggo's advise and find out what the problem is. The math does not add up! We can NOT help or advise you if we do not know where to stand.What would be the best thing to do at this point?
