I have posted videos of my setup before, and can do it again, showing starting voltages, but doesn't do much good to show ending voltages since I can't show a video of a continuous 10 hour run. Could add a photo of those ending voltages I guess.
Just talked to Matt on the phone. One of the things we want to experiment with is the fact that the buffer battery seems to want to climb. So what Matt suggested is I use 2 of my 3.5 amp hour batteries (which are brand new, haven't been conditioned, and may not work) as the primaries and several 18.5 amp hour batteries that have been charged (and then discharged through my meter to see how much power they put out) as the buffer batteries wired in parallel. It might be of some interest to folks that I can run my motor with a 12 volt 25 watt load on the motor, the inverter with a 18.5 watt load on it, and charge up a BANK of discharged batteries..while my primaries don't go down. Of course I don't know that I can DO that, but it would be an interesting test!
