SW charging problems [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Carl,

I think that we need to know the size and length of the cord. It is possible
that the cord is limiting the power which is causing a voltage drop thus the
inverter drops off line.

Also I presume that you are using the grid to charge this? Also make sure the
breaker is on ( on the end of the inverter).

Thanks,

jay Peltz
