I'm in the market for solid inverter, and some of you here have enlightened me on the value of spending the money for a Victron quality level device. So I found one locally that's a good candidate for my small off grid RV/cabin system. It's advertised as new/open-box, but I don't really trust that description. So I want to run some quick tests to verify that the thing is working properly.
I have the usual meters and a battery I can take, along with a couple portable folding 120W PV panels. But, I'm not familiar with this inverter or Victron equipment. I suppose I should connect everything up and make sure I can run a heat gun and portable air conditioner as loads to push the inverter limit, and check the charging circuit with the portable solar panels. Does anyone have any other suggestions on what to check before handing over the $$$?
