Well here goes. I am 5,000 miles into a 6,500 trip. We made a quick trip boon docking from MI to Seattle. Drove through mountains to just into CA and back to Seattle on 101 the last 2 weeks. No major issues. I have an electric refrigerator that has run great with my 300 watt solar system and a 3,000 watt inverter (the same one as Rick). I am in MT for a couple of days with family. Last night I discovered that my refrigerator was not working. No electric. Checked the inverter, turned it off, turned it on. At that moment not only the inverter 120 continued to not work but the 12 volt system in the TM stopped working. I thought my battery, a 150 AMP Lithium battery was shot or the BMS shut down the system. I shut off inverter and shut off the connection to the 12 volt system with a circuit breaker I had installed. Went to bed. Woke up. Thought I should try charging the batter. But the solar app and battery monitoring app both showed battery at 100%. Turned on 12 volt system. All lights worked. Very low load. Turned on inverter with no load (disconnected everything connected to 120 power drain except for the inverter itself). Battery indicated a quick drain, 12 volt system started turning off and on (with beeps). Shut off inverter. Battery showed 70% charge, then 69% charge and within a couple minutes 100% charge. Turned on a few lights everything on the 12 volt side seems stable. I do not have a major 12 volt drain. Is my inverter messed up? Or is it my battery? That is the question. In order to keep things cold on Monday traveling down the road I NEED 120V. (As indicated, this system had worked perfectly for the last 4 weeks camping and traveling 5,000 miles).
