I just bought a XPower 1500 (by Xantrex). This unit contains a 60AH AGM lead acid battery and a built in 1350Watt Inverter. It is a portable and quiet generator based on batteries. It comes with an External 'float' type smart charger.
So you are supposed to charge this guy up, and then use it to power any AC power devices, or even 12V devices.
Problem is, they repeatedly state in the manual that you have to disconnect the external charger while you have devices connected or drawing power.
Is this due to the battery, inverter, or the charger? And if so, is there a way to allow this.
The example of why I would want this, is a backup power to a Sump pump or other intermittent device. I would want to be able to keep float charging it, even though devices may come on and draw some power.
Here is the exact quote:
"CAUTION: Do not use xPower1500 to operate any AC products or DC accessories while charging with the AC Charger."
