January 22, 20233 yr I've been using this popular RCT product for about 3 months with no issues but a week or so ago, it stopped working. It displays an E02 alarm code and does not produce 220VAC any longer. Also, even though it has been standing plugged in for the whole time, the battery SOC shows 2 bars and measures 12.3V. I've tried a few things: restarting, changing mode to 2,3, then back to 1. reconnecting the internal battery, disconnecting the 2nd gel battery. Nothing will get it back to life. Is there anything else I can try, failing which, does anyone know of someone in the Cape Town area that will take a look at this unit?
January 22, 20233 yr Send some pictures on the inverter specified above is it the RCT Megapower trolley IVR-1200LBKS 12v Power Inverter?

January 22, 20233 yr Author I added a 2nd battery in parallel using the terminals at the back of the unit. Did I miss something? Is it possible that I somehow damaged (both) batteries and that I'm now unable to get to the minimum voltage to get the inverter to work?
January 22, 20233 yr No that should not have done any damage as long as jou got the polarity correct. If you plug the unit in and switch it on check what voltage you getting across the pos and neg terminals on the gel battery then check on both sides of the dc curcuit breaker with the neg lead on the battery and the pos lead on top and bottom of the curcuit breaker see if the voltage stays the same if it does it means the inverter charge curcuit is not activating and most probably a mosfet or multiple mosfet damage due to high transients from mains energizing after load shedding.
January 26, 20233 yr If you are not sorted yet, I could come around and have a look at it, seeing that I am also in Stellenbosch.

Maybe just check your battery for voltage as i suspect these units was sold with lead acid batteries.
October 9, 20241 yr Hi TaliaB I have a kool energy 1kva inverter i did a mosfet replacement and some pnp and npn transistors the unit still doesn't come on do u have another main board and where are you located ? thanks
