If you are hooked to shore power you dont even need a converter unless you have stuff that you need that only runs on 12v. Did you try running on just shore power with both your inverter/charger and UPS off?Use the inverter to charge the battery for almost the whole day. It did not work went back to where it was before as per photos sent earlier. Does that mean the battery is not keeping a charge? Does the Battery need to be replaced?
Question - does one need the battery, if the converter is hooked up to shore power?
Thanks
The fan running would be normal because the unit is doing work - charging your batteries. 14.4v would indicate bulk charging. But if it smells like an electrical fire don’t use it.Hope you enjoyed the fish and chips.
I switched on the inverter, after a couple of attempts, The reading shows 14.4.
But, the fan came on soon after and running continuously!!
What do I do?
All as expected (hoped) - glad it worked out. I’d sell the green thing on ebay for whatever you can get for it (make sure to charge for shipping - I’m sure its heavy), but hang on to the UPS as it may come in handy and should be easily combined with the existing system.Hi
The electrician checked it out. Whoever wrote “leave off” did so after installing the after-market inverter/charger and UPS. The charger/converter is working fine and charging the battery. Its reading now 14 DC. Is that fine? They just didn’t want it interfering with their wonderful high-tech mods. The "green thing" is off and will stay off!
Can I leave the charger on?, and it won't overcook the battery?
