Inverter Swap 1000 for 2000watts
I have a fried 1000watt inverter/ charger, and I am wondering if I can swap it w a 2000watt one without any other changes to my electrical system.? They are the same brand and are the same exact unit,...

my instructions meant batteries connected
there is NO voltage to read when batteries are disconnected
use the 20v DC setting, the same setting used to check ALL battery voltage in your RV
a different test would be a resistance test AKA ohms reading, aka continuity test
you would set for continuity and test across both terminals
a high number ohms reading would mean a problem
a zero reading aka beep sound would indicate a good reading thru the breaker
i recommend you stick with voltage readings
until you learn more about the meter
Do not use resistance / continuity test on batteries or battery connected wires, you could burn out the meter
if you want to practice continuity testing
get a short piece of wire, set down at the table and learn to use the meter, you can't hurt the meter with a piece of not connected no voltage wire, if you should put it on the wrong setting
