150w inverter

i have a 12 to 240v 150w inverter (DSE model) for use in the field to drive the macbook. The inverter runs off a near new fully charger deep cycle 12v 70aH battery

I have put a mulltimeter across the inverter output and can only raise 180-190 volts which i don't think is great. Had to replace the battery of the Mac last week (under warranty) after 1 session of use on the inverter, the Mac is only 7 weeks old.

Question: could the low voltage be responsible for the death of the battery??
