Noticed the 110 volt input current to my converter fluctuates significantly with load. When the battery is fully charged, sometimes the 110 volt input current jumps from 1-2 amps to 6-7 amps by just turning on 4 or 5, 12 vdc lights. Is the converter simply reacting to the voltage drop (from the increased 12 vdc load) and increasing charge current/voltage to compensate? I assume this is normal? Thanks!
YES. The lights are taking several amps each at 12 volts which equates to increased power consumption by the converter to keep up. Your system sounds completely normal.... :)
