About every other week I plug in the inverter to charge the house battery's. Well yesterday I plugged in the inverter and after several hours I returned to find that the Led Fault light was blinking, after looking at the book it states that it is low battery shutdown. I don't see how this can be, the battery's are only 9 year old. Any way my question is should not the inverter transfer over to shore power, at this time it will do anything.???
104,
NO! If you are charging a bat with the inverter, it(the inverter) already knows it is on shore power and has no where to switch to or a reason for doing so. ;) ;D ;D
HTH,

I have found this out with my older style Trace inverter, if the batteries have gone down to far and the red fault light has come on, you'll have to jump start the inverter. Just use your car and jump to the deep cycle batteries, and the inverter will sense the 12 plus volts and resume normal operation. While it is jumped, you can then reactivate the charging of the batteries by either starting the generator, or to plug in. Good Luck, TomC
ok, I'll bite....
Batteries are 9 years old.....
They don't owe you anything, and you should be commended for getting this life from them.
Maybe time for a fresh set?
happy coaching!
