How many amps are in a volt?
Our batteries has gone down to 11.6 volts, the solar panel hasn't been doing its work.
we bought a multimeter to check our usage and only using a freesat box to watch prerecorded films as we can't get a signal here in Portugal.
We also use an led tv.
Led lights except for the bathroom 2 fluorescent bulbs, normal use on the pump, no battery charging, no hook up.
So on the multimeter we are using 3.6 amps a day.
The multimeter read that only 0.1 amp was put in all day (8 hours very sunny day)
we have 2 x110 leisure batteries, 85w solar panel, surely they shouldn't be reading that after just 3 days ?
So the question is...as the batteries are reading 11.6...started off at 13.4 ...how many amps...not volts.. have we used?
