Flattened the battery with a 12V
camping cooler
Not sure whether this came across clearly in my earlier post, but the thing
that caught me off guard was that the inverter itself, with *no* load
applied, flattened the battery. This one apparently draws enough current in
the on/no load condition to kill a battery. It's a 10-year old model, so
maybe there are better designs. BTW, buying one of the ones that cuts out
at 10.x volts won't, by itself, help, since your battery is dead for all
practical purposes at or near that level (around 10.5v for a 12v nominal
batt).
