Hello all,
I have a trailer mounted machine which runs on 24v D.C. (two 12v batterys).
I wanted to charge up the machine batterys while towing it behind my car so I bought a power inverter to run the existing charger from my cars 12v D.C. battery supply.
I have wired it up today and have power to the inverter. The inverter is 500w and the charger draws about 185w when plugged into the mains.
The problem I have is that when I plug the charger into the inverter, nothing happens. The needle on the dial stays at 0.0.
Is there some reason why this kind of charger cannot be run from an inverter or am I missing somthing.
Any help would be very much appriciated.
