Or if the connections to the battery are not tight - and that is what I suspect based on the symptoms..
If the voltage was dropping below 11 volts, it would indicate either a high resistance connection to the battery or a defective battery. The Ten-Tec may have kept on operating, but that is not necessarily a benefit if it created a high IMD situation. 100 watts on a battery supply will not last forever - our FD solar charged battery operation lasted only 1 hour at the 100 watt level. 73, Don W3FPR.
