ocassionally on a couple Outback FX's also.

Obviously the Bolt will not tolerate the modified sine wave

magnum inverter charger would work in this situation?

Thought that I would check with the knowledge base !

Re: [RE-wrenches] Chevy Bolt

Hey Bob,

It may not be that a modified square wave is causing the problem but rather 
your MSW. At 20 years old, I bet you have ringing on the waveform of your 
inverter (voltage overshoot during switching). Look at it with a scope. I have 
seen 10-12 year old inverters hitting 300+ volts PP on the spikes. Some 
equipment will see that voltage and prevent operation and other equipment will 
hum along (pun intended) blissfully. 

We have had a couple of problems with magnum inverters working with specific 
loads. It would be best to test one before committing to it.
