Aims PSW Inverters ? Any Bad?
Anyone know any problems w/ these inverters ?http://www.theinverterstore.com/300-watt-pure-sine-wave-inverter.html Seems like a good price ?

As I mentioned above, the unit has a hardwired power cord. There are no inverter terminals. So, as far as I'm concerned the AIMS equipment starts at the power plug they supplied. In any case, I doubt that there's a 1.2 volt drop over that 24" cord.
I very carefully measured the voltage the unit sees at it's plug (where AIMS' responsibility starts) and determined the low voltage alarm starts at 12 ±.2 volts instead of the listed 10.8 volts. It's possible there's a short negative voltage spike that sets it off. If so it should quit beeping when the voltage comes back up above 10.8v, shouldn't it? I've opened the case and muffled the beeper somewhat, but it's still infuriating. As was AIMS' response to the problem.
