Review on Aims PICOGLF12W12V120AL Inverter Charger Transfer by Chad Jeffries

Functional unit with construction flaws. I installed the 1100w model in my RV and have been using it for a year now. The first serious drawback: the lack of a low-voltage cut-off. The inverter will dry discharge your 12V batteries. Therefore, you should never forget to turn it off. A constructive improvement could be a selectable voltage shutdown, so that the device cannot be operated at a voltage higher than 12.4 V, for example. Second main disadvantage: The rotary switch of the charging current must be set to zero before connecting to 110AC, otherwise the device will work with a 90% probability. GFCI. This is a serious problem when connected to shore power for a long period of time as after 10 days the device is supposed to restart charging and if you leave the dial in the normal non-zero position the 10 day Reboot Turn off the GFCI and the inverter will switch to 12V and drain the battery. Disadvantage three: the above problems with GFCI. 90% of campsites have GFCI sockets. (For accountability reasons I guess) they put a GFCI on the inverter. Two GFCIs in the same circuit will never work properly. Small loads like a laptop can disable GFCI. I would recommend this device for its ability to handle heavy loads and charge it if you are thinking of dealing with the above issues.
