Thanks for all the advice. I am definatly learning. I was able to determin the 1200w inverter is drawing 1.6amps at idle and my 400w inverter draws .6 amps at idle. Upon testing with loads, they both step up at the same rate about 1 amp difference regardless of load. I have upgraded my batteries to a used deepcycle hand me down. And as soon as I get a refund from bad ebay solar company, I plan on attempting to purchase more PV power. The 5 watt pannel creates about .35 amps which will charge, but not as fast as I can use the power.
