Here we go again…
This is designed to avoid over charging the lithium batteries, they are glutenous pigs when it comes to being fed and will take in all the current they can get .... right up until they destroy themselves.
T1, the word you were trying for is "
gluttonous". "
glutenous" means a gooey mass… come to think of it, maybe you did choose the right word, if you wanted to describe a cooked lithium battery.

Bugga, and I asked Mr Google to see if I had the spelling correct .... but auto correct could have been involved so I'll take my stripes for not proof reading before hitting submit, proof reading your own work usually results in what you meant to say being read rather than what is actually there

That's the skill of proofreaders & subeditors.
Never check your own work... first blunder made by cadet & junior journalists.
And a University Degree in Journalism does not absolve you from making this mistake.
BTW, Proofreaders & Subeditors have different duties. A proofreader is not allowed to change copy, only point out errors (usually literals & punctuation etc) & return it to the Sub or Journo for correction. A Subeditor can change copy, (moving order of paragraphs, adding or changing text for clarity etc) but usually does it in conference with the journo.

Faith lost in mankind ...
More like unkind ...
I Got a 2000 inverter I said , flog me one of your 200 AH Litho batteries I said , then I will have 400 whatsanames I said , so now I need an AC that will work with that set up I said , buy a fridge, battery and a Harrier Lite and get a free chair he said ... The AC will work like a dream he said ...
Well pigs arse it does , 30 seconds and trips the inverter , all other crap off as well , 30 seconds is it ...!!!
So lookin at the book it says 2413 watts so HTF can a 2000 inverter power 2413 ...???
Any Terrency tricks Terrence ...??? Pub open yer FFS ...???
TNOZ0257.JPG
so do I get 2600 or a 3000

wrong spec.
volts times amps. 220V, 7.5 amps. electric 1650 watts. (not effective cooling watts)
what is tripping? Inverter or battery? could be the wiring?
could be the lithiums are not up to the task.
what does the spec on the inverter say?
how many amps is the inverter drawing?
what else is turned on?
what happens when the cooling is set to economy and not so cold?

Turned everything off , runs fine on fan only ,22 deg and AC on = 30 seconds and trips the inverter
Batts were at 86% charge , both are new

Just take it back to the person who designed and installed it.
It's right on the limit. The inverter is rated at 7.5 amps The AC recons 6.8 amps. Add some power factors issues and it would drop out.
Try running it on eco mode and adjust the temp to a little under ambient. See what happens.

I'd speak to them about it.
Not prepared to say yes or no.
