In this case, maybe you should start yet another thread on why is it a bad idea to buy 12v 31s, but a good idea to buy T-1275s?
But first--read the "Screwy 31" thread by LY. OTOH I have no info on how that might apply to AGM 31s vs Wet 31s.
Why would I start a different thread when my posts are right on topic? :h I run my CT 1000 watt inverter with a single, 9 yr old G27 Interstate and with a fresh charge it will easily run my 550 watt coffee maker without protest but does start to squeal after a minute or so when I run my 650 watt toaster because voltage sag (which is
exactly the subject of this discussion) is too great
unless I load support with my truck, in which case sag is minimal and the inverter doesn't come anywhere near close to alarm.
brulaz powers his own CT 1000 watt inverter with
four GC-2s which clearly offer FAR more battery AH reserve yet with just a 950 watt load his inverter is also suffering sufficient voltage drop that it alarms as well. Obviously a significantly different power source with the
same inverter yet with the
same result - excessive voltage drop and the resulting low voltage alarm. Knowing that 12 volt batteries typically suffer less voltage drop under heavy inverter load than do similarly rated 6 volts
should be part of discussions like this. :R
