Inverter Charger
My 12 year old Xantrex Prosine 2.0 has finally bit the dust. I used it in 2 RV's and it has served me well. I learned about the Prosine 2.0 on this forum years ago. It was a 2k watt pure sine inverter...

How are you switching between the big and little inverters?
Large is connected to the microwave branch circuit and one added outlet in the kitchen. Can drive your microwave, coffee, toaster, waffle iron all right there. (not all at once)
That was fine until all these devices started showing up. Laptop, chromebook, ipads, phones etc. But the large inverter draws 2 amps at idle so I bought a small 300 watt inverter and connected to the two branch circuits to power the rest of the outlets. Battery power was precious at times before the solar was installed. I have a note by the switch to remind anyone to switch the fridge to propane. Small inverter idles at 260 milliamps so it can be on and forgotten without much draw on the battery.
Now the devices are charging more off the USB adapter in the 12v cigar connector. Still the small inverter powers the chromebook, tv, dvd, razor etc.
Been a 12 year journey with no idea what the next few will bring.
