Ok the friking problem was the Rover controller since new.It was stockon float mode. I installed a new Victron controller along with a battery monitor and boom 14.6 every day. The Dometic just use 22% of the battery power overnight. The battery is back to 100% by 10am. I knew one battery should be enough for what I'm doing, specially after spending a little fortune in it.

Thanks for the follow up, can I assume 22% is for 8hrs and that for a full day ~70% of your 100ah li battery?

Thanks for the follow up, can I assume 22% is for 8hrs and that for a full day ~70% of your 100ah li battery? Is a 170ah battery. The Dometic is running 24/7, during the day it runs from the solar panels and the battery is fully charged by 10am. When the sun goes down it starts using the power from the battery. I check the % of the battery every morning around 5AM and is at 78%. It does run more than 8 hours on battery power, about 11 hrs.

It sounds like your system is running just fine.... But the % of the battery is useless...... What is the battery voltage in the morning?

Your trimetic % is accurate so 22% overnight is ~45% of 170ah for a day or say ~80ah or ~1000wh, very useful info.
Battery voltage in the morning for a Li battery would be meanless to me as they keep a steady voltage during discharge.
Thank you again for the follow up

I don't have the trimetric anymore. I find out that Victron has way more modern technology. I can monitor the entire system with my phone. Batteries, panels, power inverter, transfer switch and charger. All the information is sent to my phone via bluetooth. The only thing I'm keeping Renogy is the batteries, panels and DC to DC charger. Everything else is been replaced with Victron components.

With the my new set up I know exactly how much power I have left.
