      It does not surprise me that your inverter/chargers will not sync. their waveform to the incoming ac power and then augment this ac with...

      Normally selector switches select a source of power, like a generator or a grid/shore power connection. I have two such switches that...

      The chemistry of the battery does not matter. The math is not over thinking anything. If your shore power was suppling 30 Amps and the...

      Ok, let's think about this. If your inverter has sensed that the demand is larger than the 30 Amp shore power supply and has now...

      I detest the cheap, poorly coated, steel winged petcocks that the OP originally showed. Particularly if installed on the top of a heat...
