That Magnum is nice unit with a well-written manual!
On the watts vs amps thing, what about that 84% "charger efficiency" in the spec? Do you apply that?
I see it says it has "active" PF correction, which came up in another thread, where somebody said a converter would have to have that type of PF correction.
I don't know how this works, but since it has PSW, why does it need a True RMS meter to read the voltage? I thought that was to do with MSW.
I believe the 1.87KWH to replace 1KWH is the net result of all of the efficiencies/losses. So yes, the 84% is applied. I don't see how any of the thermal antics of the charger had any material effect on the 1.87KAW except to extend the time.
Neither the inverter/charger nor the MM-RC remote have any meters. All of the Watts I posted were exclusively from the KAW. All sources and loads passed through the KAW. Perhaps I don't understand what you mean.
Can someone explain how an AH meter at the battery can be accurate without considering battery temperature?
