Inverter installation

[The Bill Collector]

Am I correct in assuming you did not ADD any additional batteries to supply power to the invertor? How are your battery banks arranged (engine starting, house, etc.) and what size are the batteries? when cruising, do the engine alternators supply enough amperage to offset the current draw through the invertor? I am concerned about using the existing starting batteries to supply power to my fridge and freezer (they currently draw 3.3amps each at 115 volts which corresponds to approximately 63 amps at 12 volts). Thanks

I have a Xantrex also with 4 6v golf cart batteries (producing 12v) to support it. My house/engine batteries are not in this circuit nor would I want them to be.

Ok, I charged the Inverter batteries up and walla everything is back to normal..
