I finished my final test with the Ampere Time 200Ah Plus batteries. It took a while as I was busy with the CHINS batteries that arrived before I could finish with these. So here it is. I have a 12V Giandel 2200W PSW inverter, and used it to put these batteries through a load test which would put it over 180A. I don't have anything that could put a 200A load on them.
To my surprise, the inverter does more than 2200W. I was able to get 189A current from each battery with the same load. So calculating it out, I was doing around 2270W on the Giandel. I was able to get it to trip when I added more load. But the Giandel holds approx. 2270W for prolonged periods of time, and the Ampere TIme batteries did the 189A with no problem. I held the load once again for 12 minutes each. So, it is just an assumption that they can actually do the 200A. You decide.
I hope this helps someone when deciding whether to buy them or not. My wife wants the room cleaned up and all of this stuff has to go. I can't wait till the weather breaks so I can use my workshop again. By the way, I have decided to purchase two more of these after the CHINS fiasco. Be safe!
