[RE-wrenches] outback fx service work

[Steve Higgins]

Hey Guys...

Hope I'm not over extending here, but be careful with the 9V batteries.   In my years with various inverter manufactures I found that sometimes if you have 9 volt batteries and they are a bit on the older side they may not have enough to power up the inverter.

So, what I've done is use the 12volt flashlight batteries, or even in a pinch a 10 amp inline fuse to test the inverter.

Another tip for working on the Outback: Use 9V (smoke alarm size) batteries ganged together to create test voltage for the inverter. They can be joined "head to tail" to get enough voltage to turn the thing on and have it self test, but if you screwed something up the amperage isn't enough to smoke anything.

Good luck.
