Our relatively 'new' to us boat has an Outback inverter (unk size as manual does not specify) and 4 telecom batteries. I should add, there are 4 solar panels on the aft deck hardtop.
Oddly enough, when on anchor and inverter on, coffee pot will kick the GFI within a minute or two of startup. Outback panel error code says 'Low AC Output.' Have the 7 year old batteries given up the ghost? Are Outback inverters 1000watts and can't handle a house drip coffee pot? The panel indicates the pot is drawing .8kw.
Is the inverter trying to convert the incoming solar to AC before being deposited into the batteries? Just seems like those 4 batteries should be able to tolerate it.
I should add; on shorepower or on generator, that GFI outlet works fine powering the coffee pot.
Thoughts?
