What possibly are you going to use to draw over 200a. My microwave draws 148a, 12c coffee pot 84a, air conditioner 150a+. Now if I forget that I'm boondocking and turn the microwave & coffee pot on and other misc items at the same time then it will be 250a +.
Hi Itnerant1,
My microwave draws 176 amps. My air conditioner, on a hot day draws up to 160 amps.
It is not a problem as my inverter tops out at 250 amps (3000 watts), so I can't run 2 major items at once.
That was the point I guess I was trying to say without actually coming out and saying it.
The inverter is going to be the limiting factor and the op said a 2,800w inverter. Heck my batteries will will do 3c continously or 1500a, doesn't do much good if the inverter and other components won't allow it though.
