Inverter help
Hi guys, I'm wanting to set up an inverter so I can run power off of my battery bank and solar. I had a 2000 / 4000 peak inverter that I had been using, but was tired of not having my outlets work...

with just 2 batteries you need to get closer to 1000 watts max.
Not all inverters are made for the battery connected to the ground. Try removing the batteries from the RV to isolate.
Some inverters only provide half the rating to each outlet.
Ok and this is a good time to post the exact make and model of inverter(s).
I have 3 batteries. But you could be right, I may need more to power the RV.
The batteries are:
2: 12 volt 70AH
1: "High Max Rate" 12 volt 147AH
When wired in parallel, this should give me 287 AH, and an online watt calculator put it at almost 3,000.
And the inverters are both Cen-Tech.
1: 2000 watt continuous 4000 Peak
1: 5000 watt continuous 10000 Peak
And that's a good idea to remove the batteries. I'll try that tomorrow. Thank you.
