So i have a brand new battery bank composed of Crown CR-220 batteries, rated for 220ah at 20 hours. 4 x 6v batteries 24v
Sometimes during the day i use a microwave to re-heat food. I do it in 30 seconds increments or so as I'm not really cooking, The microwave is rated at 1200 watts so its pulling 50amps from my batteries max for those 30 seconds and eventually the solar panels catch up and might split the load or even take on more but in general its still a full 50amps being pulled for a couple of seconds from the batteries.
That being said usually if its during the day the solar panels catch up and get those batteries back to full.
So.... all this talk to ask. Is this behavior OK for the batteries or I'm diminishing their life expectancy?
