Replacing an expensive part only to have it fail immediately because of another problem
is quite annoying! So think, check and verify. Walking away from the problem for a few
minutes or hours can work wonders.
Closing Comments:
I have spent more time on this than I should, but it’s like working a puzzle, its fun, but
there are other chores I need to be addressing. I will be happy to add features as time
permits and I will fix any bugs promptly if they are brought to my attention.
Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for improvements.

4/19/10 Fixed a bug where inverter would not discharge RV battery with the switch on and
low voltage on one of the configurations. I’m not sure how much current it will draw under
this condition, but leaving the inverter switch on will drain the battery on the bypass
