Need a little help from the battery gurus on the forum.
In preparation for my solar project, I bought 4-6 volt batteries, each 430ah. Put them in series/parallel and the voltage was showing just shy of 13 volts.
I had a 1,500-watt electric heater running in the MH and I disconnected the shore power. The inverter immediately took over. I went back and took a reading on the batteries and they were showing 11.4 volts and dropping.
Bad batteries?
