1 discharging battery a bit:




The first thing I needed to do was to give the controller a little something to chew on, since the only way
I have to tell how much power a panel or controller CAN produce is to give it a hungry load and see how much
power it will accept, given its maximum power point tracking.

I connected my 1,000W inverter and plugged in a small ceramic heater. It draws around 470W on low, which
should drain my 100AH battery down reasonably fast.

This battery has about a 1,300Wh capacity, and I drained it about half-way, down 660Wh.

1 discharge setup	2 starting header load 479W	3 323Wh drained	4 511Wh drained	5 still pulling 478 W	6 533Wh drained
7 655 Wh drained	8 total of 0.55 kWh sent from inverter to heater	9 total of 659 Wh drained from battery
