Was at my N. Wisconsin retreat(Trailer) and had issues starting my furnace and other 12 VDC stuff. 110 AC worked great but the lights were dim and the furnace just hummed. Stuck my charger on the deep cycle battery and tried again and things worked. Battery is OLD as I have electric service and run off of that.
How does one test an inverter? I did disconnect the charger and stick a multi meter on a light and kicked the furnace on. Voltage stayed at 12.8. Checked a few hours later and voltage had dropped to 12.2.Guessing things were running off of the 6 year old battery.
Are inverters serviceable/repairable or does one just buy a new one?
Any info is welcome as I do need heat Spring and Fall and do not really want to Appalachian Engineer things with my charger workaround. Though, there is a little hillbilly in everything I do up there
