I have the Renogy 2000Watt Inverter Charger and it's my first time using an inverter charger. I'm confused by its behavior, but maybe this is normal:
When I plug into shore power, my batteries are charged to 100% by the inverter charger, but then after reaching 100% charge, the inverter charger only provides power to the AC circuit. My 12v circuit immediately begins draining the fully charged batteries. I've seen the batteries drain below 60%, and by then, the sun has come back up and my solar array starts charger the batteries and providing power to the 12v circuit. The inverter charger never does anything else except power the AC circuit.
Is it normal for an inverter charger to do this? Thanks!
