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 ...

You're using LFP so the SOC or "I’m curious if the fully charged battery can take more inverter load" doesn't really have an effect the way I think you're thinking that lead does, but when the lvd (low voltage disconnect) is reached it will shut itself down.
As an example the other day I turned the A/C on when the the SOC was 60% and ran it till 35% (near 2 hours) so it was inverting at 140a +/- for a couple hours, the inverter was showing 12.2v before I shut it off. If I kept it going the inverter would of shutdown at 12.0v probably in another hour or so.
Edit.. the inverter will shutdown before the batteries have reached the lvd (vpc). The charge/ discharges source should be setup to disconnect before the battery bms does the shutting down.
