Furnace runs on 12 volts but is a major power sucker. Still no where near the INVERTER when cooking with battery power (making coffee)
The beeps were the "voltage is droping" warning. the shut down was the battery protection circuit. Inverter was not overloaded and was operating as designed.
TO cure
You can try shutting off furnace when brewing your morning cup
Fire up Generator
Add more batteries (I favor GC-2 in pairs as they are six volt and 2 in series make 12) also make sure all connections are clean. I gained about 1 volt under load when I cleaned mine last.
