Your TV is 120 volt and runs off the Inverter. I hate to sound off again. REPLACE THE LIFELINE BATTERY/S. NOT doing this just keeps causing you headaches and problems. I advise my customers to NEVER turn the Inverter ON, unless they are going to run Invertered appliances. Otherwise, your 120 Shore Power and Genset will supply the voltage needed to run those appliances. Problem with leaving an Inverter ON, it is usually out of sight and out of mind and when NOT using the RV, it just takes a few days to drain the battery if left ON. Then you have a DEAD coach battery and if a Lifeline Brand, you have just ruined the battery. When Inverter ON and you are driving the RV, the engine Alternator will supply more than enough current to run the Inverter and the TV/Microwave and such. It is when you stop driving and forget you had the Inverter ON that it becomes a problem. Always get in the habit of checking the status of the Inverter daily. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TURN THE INVERTER ON TO UTILIZE THE BATTERY CHARGE FUNCTION OF THE INVERTER/CHARGER. The Inverter/Charger ALWAYS charges when the Shore Power or Genset is supplying 120 power to the RV. Doug
