I just checked the wattage of my Keurig 'mini' and it draws 1425w...This, more than OP's.

To recap, I have Interstate 6v batteries and I brew repeatedly several (2-3) cups shortly after one another. This, in the morning with SOC in the mid 80's...So how is this a problem inherent with 6v batteries?...I have ONLY two batteries...Yet I've not experienced this alledged "six volt batteries are the OP's problem syndrome".

OP is having a problem with 1300w and four 6v batteries...We both have similar sized solar (though morning solar is not optimum). Once again (for the RIF crowd), I have just TWO 6v batteries yet no problems. So how is this possible??

My LV cut-out is set at 10.5v (but recovers shortly thereafter), OP's is set at 11.0v (BTW, this is a substantial difference!).

So the way my fault tree reads, I'd FIRST simply lower the LV cut-out.

On edit...BTW, the coffee maker is just a resistive load. I can also operate my high inductive surge dirt devil central vac (a much greater load than resistive)...again this with just two 6v batteries...

Why are people posting about powet cords to the pedestil

Well,, You know some folks have a standard response.. My favorite is

Q: My ____ (12 volt) Light quit working. All the other 12 volt stuff, including other lights work fine.

A: Check the GFCI....

Though I do admit that sometimes the converter is plugged in to a GFCI loop.. Remember "The other 12 volt stuff works"

I would love an aeropress, but I haven't seen one that can do more than one cup at a time. Still... there's been one in my Amazon wish list for quite awhile now.

a bigger areopress would be nice, but I've found that it is very quick to brew several cups in a row since getting rid of the grounds and brewing the next cup is so quick and easy. Although trying to brew 6 real cups in a row would be a stretch, brewing two real sized coffee cups in a row is quick and easy.
