Take the inverter out of the scenario.

OK, maybe a better example would be solar powered battery bank, powering a travel trailer. Charge comes in to the batts from the PV, while load goes out from them. All there is to think about, is the resultant charge from the PV, a net positive, or negative number but the flow is varying but...

Current flows through batteries at different rates all the time. Think alternator charging, then turn up the AC.

Hmmm. This is what came on mine and so far, I've no intention of switching, when the time comes. GoodyearWrangler Territory AT275 /65 R18 116T SL SBL FR

A couple things I had to get into my head, was the significantly bigger width and height, re overhead obstacles and tree branches, as well as tail swing. Its easy to burn into your brain that you're 11'4" tall or whatever for bridges, or better yet, use an RV safe mapping program but the rest...

I'm gonna let this run a bit more to see if it can finish but I'm getting tempted to revert to my old strategy, that served well twice, for near a yr. each.

I'll try to do that after it reaches full charge, if I can keep it parked long enough. But it'll be an hr. vs. 30 mins.

The charger is still flashing red, which according to the unit's instructions is <75% SOC. Voltage reading at the bat with charger on = 12.64

The Batteries Plus link, is specially for car batteries. Nothing to do with home systems. It would be helpful, if we used the same metrics re SOC.

I've driven from MO to VA in one day, multiple times. Same for FL, and MN. But that was when we only had vacation time. If the ultimate destination is in reach, its tempting to do it but we're more likely now, to split such trips, to 2 days, maybe see some sites along the way. With our travel...

I'd like to find a definitive on that. Renogy says 12.7V = 100% and 11.7 is 50% https://www.renogy.com/blogs/general-solar/agm-battery-voltage For this one, the same range is 13V - 12.05. https://learnmetrics.com/agm-battery-voltage-charts-12v-24v-deep-cycle-battery-voltage/ Batteries Plus...

It was still flashing red when I unhooked it this morn. An hr. later, V= 12.59. An hour after I came home from ~ 55 mi round trip, it is 12.63. Plugged it back in and still flashing red, so it must measure something other than V to determine SOC.

I saw your post about the Timbrens and was wondering. I like the Sumos. The 1000 lb version anyway.

As soon as I learned of the PB and it's 7.2KW PPOB, I knew that was the truck that would pull and occasionally power my travel trailer and other remote, or emergency power needs. Thats the whole reason I bought the truck. Everything else, is gravy. But I waited for a couple yrs first, knowing...

This has been my experience as well. Including towing in the mountains.

First I've heard of it. I do know first hand, that you don't want to be using cruise, when the bridges are starting to freeze over but thats on any vehicle I suppose. Haven't had a lot of snow time in the PB. What you say, may be true but the few times I used either 4A, or 4H in it, has been...

I don't know if that is normal or not but it is ample voltage.

An hr. after returning from a 16mi RT, 12.51V. Plugged it back in and we'll see what it looks like tomorrow. As for Ford Pass, I'll look for my sign in stuff, log out, re-sign in. See if that works.

12.5V. Still no lock or start on FP.

It is now 55hrs. since I plugged it into the charger and is still flashing red. I have to use the truck this eve and tomorrow, so won't be able to test things as I wanted to. I'll unplug something over an hr. before I have to leave tonight, so I can get a resting voltage reading before I...
