Yay Ray. What a nice shop you have. John in RI.

Hey Buddy!!! This is actually Ray's brother-in-law's workshop. But it sure makes things easy to work on the van when we're here.

Appreciate you taking the time to create the video. It looked like the loaded AC voltage dropped to 99v. That seems a little low. I would prefer it to not drop below 110vac.

When it dipped below 110v it could have been the result from powering this at its max load and my alternator wasn't supplying any power as my engine wasn't running. I have a new video coming soon about this inverter so stay tuned.

It's because the van wasn't running so the battery voltage dipped into the 10's. If it was running, he'd likely keep a solid 14 or so volts and the inverter output would have been up over 110. I just installed the 3000 watt version of this yesterday and did various tests. At 2,800 watts, mine too would dip to under 100 volts before it started beeping at me, with my truck (that has dual alternators) off. When the truck was running, and outputting 14.6 volts, it never dipped below 116, even at that high output. I have no doubt the poster of this video would experience the same thing I saw, just at a lower wattage since he has the smaller brother to the one I have. It is somewhat interesting though his unloaded voltage was right at 110. Mine sits right at 121, and 50% load it runs at 118. It doesn't dip to the 116 until I get towards the upper end of it's output. Just an observation.

The first incident happened while driving and the inverter began to smoke when the main system it was charging reached 100% soc. The Li Time was outputting 0w.

@robwinkler4668 Thanks for your question. It helped me because people answered and explained things. 🙏
