Seems excessive no?

I kept a very close eye on the water levels in the batteries and it looks like I used just over a quart in the 10 days.

The consensus from the last thread was that the charge wires to the batteries are undersized and that accounts for the difference.
12.7 is a full charge.

another 100 watts of solar for a total of 200 watts, and a cheap PWM controller.
...t the voltage was down to 12.7. Any big morning loads (microwave, hair dryer) required the generator, which is what I suspected.
In general, I'm happy with the setup, but I can see how doubling the solar would help.
Full sun, no load the battery voltage as reported by the solar controller (which appears to be reading a half volt high) if 15.9. I haven't had the chance to measure the actual battery voltage in this condition yet..
