I had a 2500 Xantrex system, had it wired so that shore power coming in went directly to the inverter charger, if the shore power stopped, the inverter would automatically switch over to the inverter and continue powering the fiver.<br /><br />A few times, the power went out while we were hooked to shore power, it switches over so quick that we did not even notice.<br /><br />The thing is, I just did not like that many amps being drawn from the battery bank, sometimes upwards of 100 amps. Anytime we need ac power, we fire up the generator now, with the exception of the bedroom tv and dvd which runs off a 1000 watt inverter, but the draw is not that much.<br /><br />Nice battery bank too and on a slideout tray, sweet, what make of batterycoalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02513060263430107536noreply@blogger.com
