Great Inverter - Starters, Chargers and Mobile Power

Hello! The inverter is great. It was shipped well to Europe with a good tracking number. I use it for a water heater. The boiler resistance is 22 ohms, at 230V it consumes 2400W. At 110V it consumes 500W. The inverter has a good design and is durable in appearance. Large screws can handle very large cables. I used it with all batteries (2x110Ah at 12V) to test the behavior of the inverter. I know it's not good to drain the battery too much, but once upon a time for testing. .There are 3 LEDs for the load, at 500 watts I have both green and orange. red is off The fan runs quietly, the speed depends on the load. When there is no AC load, the current draw is less than 1A and the fan is off. Here's the behavior I got when unloading (I'm only listing transitions): Time (HH:mm)! voltage ! Amp! LED battery indicator (there are also 3 LEDs, green, orange and red) ------------------------------------------------ ---------------- ---------------------------------- --------------- 19:06 ! 12.20 volts! 48A! Green + Orange fixed ON19:50 ! 12.08V! 48A! Orange is only fixed at 20:35! 11.83 volts! 50A! Orange + Red fixed ON21:10 ! 11.56V! 52A! Red is only fixed at 21:32! 11.19 volts! 55A! Red blinks slowly 21:27 ! 10.93 volts! 54 A! Fast flashing red 21:43 ! 10.20V! OUT ! An alarm goes off (rather loud) and the AC load turns off. The buzzer stays on even if the voltage is increased. Didn't wait for it to turn off, it was too loud. So I really like how the inverter behaves. Let's see if it lasts for years!

Pros
