Any kind of heavy loading of the inverter would increase that problem.
That EE I have seen. It was on a little 450W unit. It involved a bad connection to the 12V source. Any load at all. Unit would kick out. It was because of the cigarette lighter connection.
If I were you. Checking out needs a fused lead to the inverter from the source. The lead needs to be bolted to the battery terminal for a good connection. Do you still have the wires from the third inverter? Need good large wires. Then understanding of how much fuse, versus the AC load on the other end of the inverter. Along with what the inverter will use. You need understanding of what you're doing.
Might just take them to a automotive electrical shop. They'll charge you to check them out. Kind of place that does alternators, starters, etc. Or maybe a RV place? They do alot of electrical in RV's.
I'd just open them up. Look inside. See if any corrosion. If it looks good. They probably are.
I'd sell the first two. Just be honest. That EE was probably because of the connections. Perhaps sell the first two together. Keep the third in case you need it? Newer ones aren't any better. Except for the full sine wave inverters. You might want one of those instead?650cat425, Rocks, LoSt_AgAiN and 1 other person Thank this. -

I finally found my nemesis on backing. This stinking place has me pissed! I won't go back there. Even though the boss tried to tell me maybe someday. "Now you know how".... BS! Lousy attitudes there!
First... they wouldn't let me back into a regular dock to unload. Had to be this one. Has cement walls coming out almost to end of trailer. Place was designed ok. But didn't include a #### load of shelving put out in the lot in your way! Not only that. The put pallets at the end of the shelving to cut you off more!
Then I tried to refuse that dock. Guy said you have to. I demanded a spotter. He gave me a guy. But he didn't have the common horse sense of the back of a donkey! Heck! I used to spot 18 wheelers when I worked electricity. Just common horse sense. Ask the driver what he wants me to watch. Know I'm being used to pull up extremely as close as possible. But no! They couldn't do that! They were nothing but a problem. Threatening to turn down the load. I about had it out with them. Tell them to sign it off as turned down. I pointed to all the scratch/gouges in the wall and he screamed: That was a long time ago! ... Well... ## too!
A blind side back would work. But needed an intelligent life form for a spotter. None of that here.
Jack offs arguing with me. I told them to give me a day cab. I'll drop it in there in a heart beat. They got no room for the truck!
Finally a driver showed up there who goes there alot. Experience. Can't do it with tandems all the way back. No room for truck. Can't do it with tandems anywhere forward. Trailer swing hits the walls. Only way.... tandems must be about three feet forward of all the way back. Then.... you literally jacknife the trailer. Only way. Even he had trouble with experience. But he does it.
These jack offs had to put shelving in the way for a decent setup for sight side back. Then out front is extremely tight.
I don't ever want to go back there. Usually take tight as a challenge. Never had a problem. Am proud of some I've done. But this? No reason for this BS! And they got customers all over the place! F! Them!
Look at this S!
