normally the AC outlets are only hot when plugged in to shore power or running a gen-set.

your DC outlets will draw directly from the battery though.

ok. thanks. I was just hoping it was a dual inverter-converter, seeing as the thing is the size of a volkswagen.

no power here at home, trying to get the ~200 watts needed to run the blower on my wall heater....
