- It’s always interesting to see how An inverter can run a battery charger while charging the battery that is running the inverter which is running the battery charger that’s charging the batteries which is feeding the inverter that’s running the battery charger that’s feeding power into the batteries which is running the inverter. You get the point.
A very common occurrence on an off grid set up offered from factory installed in my opinion completely incorrectly. These customers were going through batteries. They could not explain where the power was going. In this video you will see the magic loop of power that cannot exist. You cannot run a battery charger from a GPO that is supplied from an inverter. It is classed as a non-essential load and must not run from the inverter this must be before the inverter circuit.
Camping is supposed to be simple and easy. Turning on your inverter from a remote should not entail a checklist of items to unplug and turn off before you run this inverter.
The holy grail of perpetual energy 😂 I’m loving your videos, it’s scary seeing what’s out there, especially from manufacturers.
So true!
Can u explain to me what runs the battery charger if there is no power to it from 240 as u showed and not powered by the inverter? Is it run by 12v ? Reason i ask is that im confused and im getting one of these. Cheers
Hi Jeff,
I don't think you understand the system here.
The mains charger must not have any ability to run from the inverter. It must be before the inverter as to not create a "loop'.
Can I suggest you look up the Enerdrive inverter with transfer switch diagram. That explains it easily.
In the video you can see how the charger turns ON when i turn the inverter on. Thats not correctly wired up.
