About 10:30 this morning---I had just tested all batteries with the hydrometer---the readings dropped to 23.8. Retested batteries---they were in the green. I turned off all loads----the readings returned to 25.2. I turned on the Sunfrost---readings immediately dropped to 23.8. I turned off the Sunfrost--- readings returned to 25.2. I turned on all lights in the house and the readings remained at 25.2. I turned the Sunfrost back on and the readings again stayed at 25.2. The one other thing that happened in the meantime is that the sun came out and we started buying power from the solar system---.1-.3kw.

On the way to bed the batteries were at 25.4, overnight with no loads they dropped to 22.9 then a short 15 min. charge with a generator brings the batteries back up and two hours later they are at 25.8.
