Re: Inverter help
time2roll wrote: with just 2 batteries you need to get closer to 1000 watts max. Not all inverters are made for the battery connected to the ground. Try removing the batteries from the RV to isolate. Some inverters only provide half the rating to each outlet. Ok and this is a good time to post the exact make and model of inverter(s). I have 3 batteries. But you could be right, I may need more to power the RV. The batteries are: 2: 12 volt 70AH 1: "High Max Rate" 12 volt 147AH When wired in parallel, this should give me 287 AH, and an online watt calculator put it at almost 3,000. And the inverters are both Cen-Tech. 1: 2000 watt continuous 4000 Peak 1: 5000 watt continuous 10000 Peak And that's a good idea to remove the batteries. I'll try that tomorrow. Thank you.587Views0likes0CommentsRe: Inverter help
I have 200 watts, and a 30amp solar controller. 2 RV deep cells and 1 High Rate Max solar battery. The controller shows they do about 10.5a/h in full light. Which is basically all day where I'm at. I was having no problem using these inverters while hooking the inverter straight to the batteries. (Wired in parallel). I claimed they are full because I can watch movies on my Xbox, on my tv, and fully charge my phone and laptop batteries, along with using lights, and microwave, all in the same night. and also the control panel on the RV says full, it'll dip to 1/3 or less I'm assuming, but the next day it'll be full again.264Views0likes0CommentsInverter help
Hi guys, I'm wanting to set up an inverter so I can run power off of my battery bank and solar. I had a 2000 / 4000 peak inverter that I had been using, but was tired of not having my outlets working in the trailer, so I tried plugging the shore line, with adapter, into it. It wouldn't power, so I figured it was trying to pull too many amps, and I flipped all my breakers off, and unplugged my converter. And it still didn't work. So I got a 5000 / 10,000 peak inverter, thinking that would help, and it's still having the same issues. I've read a few posts, and it seems this is a fairly common thing to do, and works for lots of people, so what am I doing wrong? Or if anyone's come across this problem I'd appreciate any help! If it helps I'm in a 2003 wilderness. Thanks so much.8.6KViews0likes24Comments
