Tripp Lite PV1000HF Battery Charge Conservation Setting

Any one use this inverter? I am interested in how well the "Battery Charge Conservation" feature works. The normal no load idle drain 1.5 amps. The conservation load sense mode draws 100micro-amps.

"When the
dial is turned fully clockwise, the Inverter will operate even when
there is no load. Turn the dial counterclockwise to set a higher minimum
load, causing the Inverter to stay off until the new minimum load is
reached. When the dial is turned fully counterclockwise, the Inverter
will turn on when it detects any load greater than approximately 150 Watts."

Or does anyone know/have another inverter brand that has a similar feature?

Seems like a very cool/useful feature.

Re: Tripp Lite PV1000HF Battery Charge Conservation Setting

This is a pretty common feature, especially on larger inverters. I do know the Magnum Energy units I have looked at also have it, although some models it may not be adjustable. I have a larger tripp lite, I have never put it to use on mine, as I only turn the inverter on while using it so I really can't say how well it works in practice.
