Often the CCC inverters have a very high standby power draw, and some shut off at 15 volts so you cannot equalize. The don't have chargers and transfer switches. They are not UL listed. Some don't allow proper grounding, with negative battery and neutral bonded. They don't offer much motor starting surge. David Katz

Harbor freight sells units like this. Unless they are a continuing customer or a friend, I would be inclined to tell them good luck. PLEASE call someone else, asap!

My strong gut feeling is that they are junk, but I have no experience with these. They feel the inverters from Outback, Magnum etc are far overpriced. What would you say to a customer who wanted to purchase one of the units?
