Samlex Inverter Power Draw Question
I just finished a Samlex pure sine wave PST 3000-12 inverter install. I ran 00/2 cables because that was recommended in the user manual. I added a Renogy 30 amp transfer switch with the charger wired ...

Right I may be muddled. I have read that explanation of battery charge and I must not fully understand it. The RV is usually plugged in to a 20 amp outlet with a 40ft outdoor extension cord. I think it’s a 14ga. So since it’s been constantly plugged in the charger should be in float mode and the battery somewhere between 13.8 and 14.6. I believe 13.8 is the highest voltage I’ve seen on the meter. I started the inverter just after disconnecting shore power and the meter only read 13.37 which seems a little low.
27 min left using the microwave would be great but the time left was dropping like crazy while the micro was on. From 9 hours to 27 min in a minute. I guess I should test again using the microwave until the battery power drops below11 amps. I thought that I could use the microwave with the inverter for short bursts of time without pulling that much power.
