2000 Watt Invertor Issues, Need Help
My 2000 watt Prosine invertor works fine on small loads like TV, computer, etc, but when I fire up my LG 1000 watt micro wave/convection oven the invertor kicks off after 8 seconds, my batteries are n...

I get almost a 1 volt initial drop to the "real" loaded voltage by turning the microwave on with inverter. Then voltage slides down slowly as the MW runs. If there is a surface charge (from being on solar) on the bank it disappears immediately in the initial drop.
That is why I can't run the MW at less than 50% SOC. I need 12.2v going in to stay above 11v alarm. That is on four 6s the way I am set-up. On two 6s I would need to be at 75% SOC to stay above 11v alarm (based on a test for that I did).
With 12s it is a little better, where you don't get as much initial drop. Guys here with AGMs report they can run their MWs with just two batts with not much initial voltage drop.
So if you can only carry two batts and you want to run the MW when at lower SOCs, AGMs are the way to go.
I do not understand the OP's situation or description of what is happening, but I do understand his frustration! :( RVing is fun if you don't weaken. :)
