A day of disappointments. The day started off somewhat chilly so I ran the heater. Today I let it run for about 30 minutes and learned that it doesn't generate a lot of heat. I tried running the fan on low to help spread the warm air with no luck. I want something that blasts the heat in quickly for a quick warm up. So I curled into the blankets and shut it off.
The day warmed up and the heat woke me up by 1pm. I ran the fan again on medium and the voltage output kept dropping steadily from 12.7 to 11.7 over the course of an hour. At this point the inverter started providing quiet (yet annoying) warning beeps. The charger had showed the battery as fully charged on Sunday. I left another battery trickle charging this week, so I will test that against the fan this week.
The only good news is that the generator started up immediately. The bad news is that the air conditioner did not. I took the plug apart and put it back together to no avail. The parts inside look cheap - I will have to try replacing the plug itself this week.
