How do you know it is drawing any current? If you are going by that spark when it is first connected, that is just a small surge from charging the input filters.

Shawn, I intalled a 1,000 watt inverter in my Vanagon a few months ago and am now discovering that it places a small load on the aux. battery even when "off" and not in use. Don't know why this is or if the inverter is defective, but it's something to be aware of if you're not already. Also, having done it now, my feeling is that 1KW is WAY more capacity than you need. I had visions of the wife using a hairdryer, ha ha... Geza |
