Everything I have run from my 24V Pure Sine inverter has run fine so far,
EXCEPT
The other day I plugged in a small battery charger that charges AA size NiMH batteries. It overheated both the charger and the batteries near to the point of combustion.
I know that Modified Sine inverters can wreck small battery chargers, but mine is pure sine (or at least that's what I bought it as).
The inverter: http://waveinverter.co.nz/power-inve...inverter/2000w
Specs sheet at http://waveinverter.co.nz/image/cach...-1000x1000.jpg
The small batter charger: http://www.mahaenergy.co.uk/products...s-fast-charger
My guess is that either it's a one-off with the circuitry of this particular battery charger that is somehow incompatible with a pure sine inverter, or the pure sine inverter isn't really pure sine.
Any expertise to shed light on what the trouble might be, and how I can test would be much appreciated. One of the purposes of this system was to have a charging shelf for small battery-powered appliances, but now I am reluctant to plug any other ones in for fear they will be destroyed.
Thanks in advance!
