Interesting... Installng a Cobra inverter, with two deep cycle batteries... Only one battery (an old battery from my truck) for testing is in place right now. Anyway I hooked 'er up to this one battery and the input read was cool (12.2V) and the output read was 90W BUT, I was testing with a 40W bulb... Have yet to refer back to the manual.

Remember on an AC circuit the bulb only draws what it needs...try hooking up 3 40 watt bulbs...
