Unfortunately I didn't try that before returning the battery.

Before sending the battery back I did try using a different inverter with the same charger hooked up at the same time to the battery and still had the same over voltage problem so I guess that narrowed it down to either the battery or the charger. As far as using disconnects for this setup...

I didn't run the inverter under any load for more than 10 minutes. After getting numerous high voltage alarms with the everything connected including the charger I was being very cautious and didn't want to risk frying something and voiding a warranty. Now I need to decide if I want to try a...

I just got off the phone with Battle Born batteries and they said that just having one battery for my setup should not be the problem.

Yes it did without any problems.

Yup that's the battery that I bought.

Very discouraging , makes me think I'll stick with AGM batteries. Single 12 volt 200ah AGM battery at 125 LBS, I was trying to avoid that.

When the charger was done fully charging the battery the voltage measured 13.5 volts at the terminals and yes I tried just the inverter connected to the battery and it was fine, also just the charger connected to the battery was fine too.

I sent them numerous videos of my setup and videos of the problems I was having. "I want to power a 12V input/120V output inverter supplying X loads with a 12V battery. I want to charge the battery with a separate AC-DC charger." Is that correct? Yes it is

I am surprised that Ampere Time didn't say anything about the charging specs of the battery charger then. I gave them all the specs for the equipment that I was using for my system. FYI this setup is indoors so cold weather shouldn't be a factor for charging. Well I no longer have this battery...

I have a pellet stove that currently has my homemade battery backup system that is able to power the stove for roughly 4 hours or so if the power goes out (max draw from the stove is 300 watts). I am guessing you would call this setup a UPS... The current system has 2 6volt 200ah agm batteries...
