[RE-wrenches] Outback VFX input voltage cycling

[Darryl Thayer]

It sounds like the AC charge current is set to high, with the batteries being low the inverter charge rate is overloading the gen set. The gen set voltage drops and the inverter releases the genny and the voltage returns, the inverter reloads the genny and the cycle repeats.  If this worked before the gen set need attension, if not (changes to settings having occured or batteries just to low) reduce the AC charge current.
