Voltage: 105 VAC

Notes/Comments: Gas Generator - will run twice Morning - refueled with 4.7 gallons (7 o'clock) and used for approx. 6.5 hrs. Evening - started at approx. 7PM no refuel. Don changed the acceptable voltage on the Xantrex the other day, I guess that's why it is accepting such a low voltage.
Xantrex Inverter/Dynasty Batteries:
Time - Voltage (Temp Comp) - Load - Temp - Generator Running
09:40 - 26.7 - 7 - 19 - Yes
17:22 - 25.6 - 8 - 17 - Yes
Notes/Comments: I decided to find out the time needed to fully charge the batteries and to run them down. It took approximately 6h 35m to charge the batteries. The batteries kept up for 5h 26m under normal HAB daytime usage. Batt Voltage just before I cut off the generator was 26.7V Batt voltage just after I cut off the generator was 24.7V
