Thanks, Marcus, will keep in touch.

I have the Renogy monitor. I would not try to "drain" the batteries to set the monitor, rather I would use the "FULL" setting after batteries are fully charged. This has seemed to work for me. I did not want to subject the batteries to such a drain. The manual seems to indicate that you can use...

Thanks, Marcus, This is very helpful. We have not used the trailer for some time, but will be making a short trip next month. I will check the settings on the monitor while on that trip. I appreciate your willingness to share. If I find out more about my situation I will post here sometime after...

I will add that when shore power or generator is connected the inverter is disconnected and the charger/converter works normally. This is achieved by using my regular 30 amp power cord which plugs into either the shore power or the inverter. This required the addition of a regular 30 amp...

I have a fifth-wheel with a smaller system than Kyle describes, but I had exactly the concern he expresses about turning off the charger/converter when the inverter is being used. I had found several articles and/or YouTubes about an automatic transfer switch, but when I had the inverter...

UPDATE GXMnow I decided to run some tests this morning with some interesting results. I connected the inverter and the Battery monitor read: 99% full on capacity and 13.2 on voltage. Then I turned on the microwave. It did NOT trip off, nor did the inverter, BUT the monitor dropped IMMEDIATELY...

A very hearty thanks to GXMnow who has faithfully walked with me through this journey. His latest response provides a good time to consider the journey complete. It is not so much a problem solved as it is multiple problems resolved. Using that microwave was never a big deal, but the knowledge...

Thank you, GXMnow, for hearing me out on this. I believe I do not have an inverter capable of running this microwave oven so I'm not going to worry about that for now. Your analysis of my many photos and descriptions has helped me to reach that conclusion. I started with a monitor display...

From the Amazon web site:

Just emailed the installer of the system. He says they did not install any thermal: While I'm on. I tested for reset of the power and of the monitor display. Power within a minute. Display seems to be related to battery capacity. Photo 1 below. Charging has been on several minutes, showing...

This is what I have begun to suspect. Is there any way to confirm this?

ExpertPower 12V 100Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Rechargeable Battery | 2500-7000 Life Cycles & 10-Year lifetime | Built-in BMS Two of these wired in parallel to produce 12v. These are identical batteries and only a few months old. Let me say that the batteries have always tested with multimeter...

Report on running Air Conditioner -- 15000 btu with ezy start ran about 5 minutes before causing trip and shut down. (Phone/camera was plugged in at house so no photo. My best recording.) while running - 1.3 Kw - 103 A 195 Ah remaining -------- @ tripped 0% % shown, 0:00 Ahrs, 0:00...

I think this is a highly relevant question, but I don't know the answer yet. It does reset pretty quickly, but I don't know in what device. The problem is that the battery monitor does not reset until charge is applied. I don't think it is a breaker in the power center--I did check that. I am...

Did some readings with inverter Photo 1 with light on P 2 with refrigerator P3 Microwave (1.6Kw) P4 after tripped I did reading with TV (65 w) and slide out (500+ w) Everything worked and displayed correctly until MV tripped. Inverter is 2000 w. rated.
