Hi all. I'm new to this forum. Glad to have it.
I am working on a project that has stumped me.
I have a 1100 Watt inverter that is powered by two deep cycle 79 amp hour batteries giving me almost 160 amp hours in parallel. The inverter runs a mobile workstation consisting of PC, printer, scanner, etc.
The inverter is rated at 10-15 volts.
Everything works great. Shut down inverter, re-charge batteries(AGM), fire it all back up.
But here's my dilema........................
It has been requested that the mobile cart stays powered up during re-charge.
What's happening is that when the charger is doing it's thing, the volts can go up to near 15. That's when the auto protection kicks in on the inverter.
*****The charger is hooked to the batteries and the batteries are hooked to the inverter.
I need a device or application that I can put between the batteries and inverter that will NOT allow the higher DC voltage, (over 12 or 13 VDC,) to make it to the inverter input.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Marty
