The difference is the non-inline diagram is setup if you only want to run specific outlets off the inverter.
With the inline diagram you're simply taking the output of the inverter and running it to the input of the A/C panel (basically putting it in between the coaches transfer switch and the A/C panel). This does mean that you have to realize that, when running on the inverter, you won't have the power available to run the air conditioning or the microwave. Running a sub panel only to specific outlets makes that a "hard decision" in that the air conditioning or microwave simply won't run.
I'm not sure why you don't think the inverter will be smart enough to charge/not charge based on voltage at its inputs. That is part of the basic function of the inverter/charger combo.
The thing is you have to make sure there aren't any additional chargers running off of 120V in the system. |
First off, you're a Saint. Anyone else would have thrown their hands up by now and guessing a few may already have
Thanks for suggesting the other diagram. I Think I see what you mean and will attempt to digest it the same as the other.
I may have found a way to know for sure.
I bought the LED remote monitor. It has an indicator whether the charger is engaged. I 'suppose' if it attempts to charge the batteries when I know for certain there is no outside source, it's solves the riddle and I'm back to the CB method. I am also placing a large bet that I catch it before it can inflict the proverbial damage cited in so many other places.
Last I need to figure out is how can I bench-test that theory before I mount it. If I do find it tries, I have to completely reconsider where and how I mount this. It can't be tucked into a place where it's not easily accessible. If it does contain the logic, and I pray you're right, my original mount point is back on the table.
At least the batteries are not a total loss (from what I understand (re:

If the OEM charger will get them to 90%, I'm not dead in thee water. At least they can be partially charged instead of not at all. The LiBIM is mounted and another possible source of energy if I REALLY get stuck. I just may not be able to use them the way I wanted and that's a shame.
Thanks again.
p.s. the A/C is understood but the micro is a must. It's the reason I went with so much inverter and batt capacity (400ah Li). The other charger is coming out simply to remove a potential risk and confusion variable.
