To me a microwave is something that runs for a short period of time
exactly this,, that is why i asked the question, as i though 5 mins would of near flattened my batteries, but in fact after i did this small test where i used the microwave for like 8 mins the batteries finished out settling down to 91% which amazed me. i'm just trying to learn what power i have to use if needed.To me a microwave is something that runs for a short period of time as in 5 or 10 minutes any more than that and you should be thinking about hook up.

Would agree with this, microwave short period usage, maybe not always on full power either.To me a microwave is something that runs for a short period of time as in 5 or 10 minutes any more than that and you should be thinking about hook up.

I know you are not meant to take more that 50% out of you batteries , but is that 50% when under load or after the have resettled down again ?

Thanks Jimwhen there is no load..
When i was drawing power from the battery bank in the above test , the percentage that was left in the battery bank dropped to i think as low as 52% while it was drawing the power but as soon as it stopped drawing power the battery percentage slowly went back up again,and this morning was back up to 91% and 12.7 volts

I'm sorted in that aspect , as i have a 120Amp sterling Battery to Battery charger.So now you know what you can take out and what affect it has on the battery capacity you need to know how you are going to put it back in as batteries like to be charged straight back up again. We use all the usual much maligned 240 volt gadgets off the inverter and the batteries are always charged straight back up, the battery charger has been switched off for 6 or 9 months so most of this is down to the solar.
