Re: Replacement Refrigerator
Careful of connecting your inverter directly to the battery! This can kill the battery charger section of the converter. I suggest you go back and review a thread in General Discussion called Damaging the Converter. It relates to a fellow who hooked up an electric jack directly to the battery, and killed his converter. After some discussion, the consensus seemed to be that he should have hooked it to the non-charger section of the converter.
I've forgotten the details, but ISTR that the battery charging section is good for only 10 amps, and fails quickly if you put more load on it than that, as might happen if your battery is undercharged at the moment the load comes on. By contrast, the non-charging section of the converter has much more capacity, and is much more forgiving of overload. Not all of it is coming together in my brain at the moment, but you might want to check it out ...
