It would be good if you would follow standard practice
and set what you use to post to Usenet
to use a line length of ~72 characters.

Standard automotive batteries are not intended
to do what you are attempting. If you continue to do this,
you will shorten the life of your starting battery
and one day soon will find yourself stranded somewhere.


DON'T ASSUME.. and DON'T Scare people of something you have no clue of.

A mini or standard PC Does not consume any more than 80W light bulb, A
monitor may takes around 130W. The fact he needs the engine running that is
to supply for the demand of his funky inverter.

Jack.

Thanks Guys.
Though to be honest the battery is Feckin Massive. Its like a tank battery.
It has to be to start the V8. And its spanking new.

The fault lies soley in the inverter cut off
All Im asking (and its a simple question) does anyone know how to bypass the
cut-off.?

Once the the inital startup of the PC has done its bit, the thing runs fine
even without the engine running.
Until you add to the power drain. The the outputs of the inverter cut out.
Bloody anoying, as the cheeper one keeps going strong.
