It's not complimentary.
I decided to connect 2 runs 0f welded 4/0 from the batteries to the inverter. I plugged in a 4 horsepower compressor(which if I did the math correct is about 2900 amps. ran the compressor for about 10 minutes. the tank was full and it shut off. next I started the compressor again and then turned on a 12 amp vacuum cleaner. it ran for 30 seconds and turned off. the batteries voltage was reading 11.0 at this time. I am not sure if the inverter tripped or the low battery caused the inverter to turn off. but this is my update for today. will charge batteries and try again another time.
so it does run at 2900 amps and maybe at 4100 amps. if I charged the batteries and both the compressor and vacuum stay running I am ready to install the inverter(once the rv gets here)
I also ordered the 3 way auto transfer switch from aims( 30 amps)
It seems power jack might of improved the unit slightly. keeping fingers crossed for now.
