Yes, I was wondering if others are seeing the low voltage LUP(?) and hearing the squeal at 11.6V? It's essentially the battery voltage in my case as I recently upgraded to short 1/0 cable and heavy soldered lugs.

I'm still powering my CT 1000 watt inverter with a single G27 so it's not surprising it would alarm well below full load but earlier you mentioned you're running 400 AH of battery power so I'm curious as to what your battery bank consists of that it would so easily suffer voltage drop sufficient to cause the inverter to alarm? :@

It takes a while at 950W to get it down to 11.6V (4 gc2 batts)
But 11.6V seems too high for it to start complaining.
Agree - 11.6 volts seems high for the alarm to sound. Unfortunately I really don't recall what the voltage is when my CT inverter alarm sounds - sorry. :(
Considering I'm running just a single G27 but you have 4 GC-2s I am surprised you're seeing that much of a voltage dip under load from just 950 watts. I'd never go more than two batteries, either a pair of G31s or pair of GC-2s, but now I'm questioning the value of even bothering with 2 when 1 that's load supported by my truck seems to work fine for my needs. If I were dry camping all the time this wouldn't be a viable solution but the for the few times each season we may want to use the inverter I'm now thinking I may just let my current G27 run to the end of it's life and eventually replace it with a single G31. Thanks for your info! :)
