Ran batteries down to 30%

Got back home northern Wisconsin thanks to the virus. Parked in driveway connected to 110 outlet with two solar panels working. Finished unloading but two much snow on ground to park in back, I turned off the battery switch and invert was off batteries at 220 amp. It snowed about 1 inch I figured it would melt off panels. 4 degrees this morning put some stuff back in trailer looked at battery monitor and I'm at 30%. I didn't think there was that much power drain with battery switch off and was counting on Solar to help me out no sun and snow on panels for two days. Went on roof sweep off snow, panels went active I turned battery switch on and within 5 hours I fully charged. Time will tell if I screwed up my batteries. Live and learn! I've got two 220 amp 6 volt AGM that I put to the test.

I doubt it done much damage at all. If you had left them in that state for long or have repeated low level discharges, its much more probable.

Main thing is to get them FULLY charged ASAP.
