My original CONverter (2001) was a Magnatek...2 years ago I found it to be getting "weak", and bought a Parallax 55 Amp unit. Easy/fast install. So far, so good. Something like 200 bucks. (the difference in size and weight from 2001) is amazing).
My INverter crapped out this past summer. It "controlled" 4-5 outlets. No power to them. Having never used the INverter for anything (since 2001) I pulled it out and bypassed it. All I have to remember is not to put anything with a high draw (like a space heater) on that circuit. No biggie.
why not? (space heater)
Just guessing
By pass not 12 guage wire
Entertainment is on that circuit does not want it to trip breaker and shut down
OEM circuit is low amp, maybe 10 amp breaker small guage wire
Was not a large inverter
Inverter charger, replaced with converter, bypassed the pass thru
Converter is on circuit charging batteries, so no added large loads like heater
