Outback with Sunnyboy [RE-wrenches]

[John Raynes]

I second Todd's question.  If you can, in effect, charge the Outback's battery
bank by backfeeding its AC Output, this would seem to be a very interesting
"undocumented feature" of the Outbacks, about which many of us understand very
little.

Does this behavior only apply to the GFX inverters, and not the FX/VFX non-grid
interactive models?

Even though this configuration apparently works OK, is this really a
UL-compliant way of using the product?

I did not think it was a good thing to put power onto the Outback AC output...
and even if one did that, my understanding is that GFX
inverters take power to charge the batteries from the bidirectional *AC input*
to charger the batteries, not the AC output. Can you clarify this for me?
