Default trying to use 500watt inverter

whats up humans, bit of an obscure topic

have any of you tried to hook up an inverter to your chariots? 500w Invertor, to be exact.

the inverter when plugged in and turned on, keeps turn on and off ... wondering if any of you had seen this?

Are you connecting it to the Power Outlet or the Battery?
When connected to the Power Outlet the rating drops, probably around 100W or maybe a bit more.
To get the 500W you need to have it wired directly to the Battery.

I'm not sure why it would be turning off and on constantly...that doesn't sound normal at all.

I've used this one successfully connected to the 12V outlet. I did experience a couple of times where it shut off itself, but it worked fine 99% of the time.
