What is the voltage of the batteries before you recharge them? For kicks and giggles...what is the voltage of your Champion Inverter with and without a load?
If you can, find a smaller tool like an electric drill or small compressor. Just curious what the voltage drops to when initially loaded.
I am now home from camping, and have to use vague figures, but unloaded voltage was right near 120v, and never wavered much at all, the overload was less than 1/2 a second, and the engine never struggled. The battery voltage on my dads trailer before overload city happened, was exactly 12.0volts, as per my meter. No signs were being exibited that the batteries were "dead", so I assume that is an accurate reading. I need to have over 12.5 volts to be able to start without having to set the PD without having to select either of the other modes to avoid overload.
Sorry for the vageries, but metering wasn't going to help me in the situation. The newer modules are ever so slightly better than the old ones, but sometimes I can get it all working, and then 10 minutes later, it just overloads. And I can assure you that the overload is with only the converter breaker on.
