I got the battery back up last week and have been spending the past week playing with it. When running the gyre maker at 50% the backup lasted for 14 hours and 33 minutes. When I ran it at 25% it ran for 15 hours and 41 minutes. I expected the battery life to increase by more then 1 hour and 7 minutes when I dropped the output by 50%. I am not great with electrical stuff but shouldn't I be getting more life out of the battery when I reduce the speed?

Now it is only lasting 9 hours 23 mins at 50%. Since my tank isn't set up yet I have been testing it in a brute can. Maybe this is the problem. The machine can't handle the water movement. Maybe the battery loses holding ability each time it drains.
