While traveling this weekend, I boondocked twice with unacceptable results. The first night, I only had the refrigerator, directv receiver and stereo amplifier on. The inverter shut down after five hours. The next night, I turned off the amplifiers, directv in sleep mode, and after seven hours the gauge showed 12.2 volts and shut down when I turned on the coffee maker. A Xantrex Link-Pro monitor I had installed independently showed the batteries to be at 90% of capacity when it shut down. I am not sure how old the batteries are, but I will put a load test on them later in the week. All cables are tight. Any suggestions?
