The "Wattage Power Meter" seems to require quite a bit of power draw in order to register anything. - It only displayed when I stalled the hand drill which was plugged in. Vector may have designed the meter to only go full-scale when the inverter is supplying its 2KW peak power - which means that you'd need at least 100 watts of AC load in order to get the first LED segment illuminated (assuming all 10 LED segments illuminate in linear increments). this +1

They did have the B&D charger and it was only $20. Has anyone used one of these. I'm running out of batteries to put them on but, I might have to go back and pick one up. If it's the 40 amp VEC1093DBD model, $20 is an absolute screamin' deal! They normally go for over $100 - and even at that price, are worth it. If it's the smaller 10 amp model, it's still worth $20. |

DFW peoples, I just took the last inverter out of the Big Lots at Independence @ 15th, but they still had a few of the 12-6-2 chargers for $35. With a couple dozen Big Lots around, I'm sure there are many still available. Automotive section.
I also saw a Vector 2amp float charger for $15, that's half of Amazon price too, but the reviews aren't too hot. |

Ah, interesting! I'll throw a heavier load on it and see what happens. Thanks for the insight! |
