Re: Odd Electrical Trouble

I use 100 amp hours as typical single deep cycle capacity rating. As an average, it might be a bit on the high side. 80ah to 120ah is the range of ratings I've seen.
So, with a 100ah capacity and...

Over 24 hours that divider heater would draw 16.8 amps. (24x0.7=16.8) add the fans etc. and it is definitely something to be aware of and plan for. Hopefully, it can be turned off.

Re: Odd Electrical Touble

Re: Odd Electrical Touble

I should mention that I assumed that you have a single house battery with a 100 ah capacity. So you can see the impact a 15 amp hour load for three hours would have. 1/2 the capacity could be gone....

Re: Odd Electrical Touble

Short answer: I wouldn’t worry about the fan etc. The monitor panel is off a bit. KiB’s allow for a 5% tolerance which is a lot. Full or C might be lit up at less than 12.7 volts. Your battery...
