Its just like being handed a weapon that is unloaded never trust anyone always check for your self .
Then still treat it as a loaded one .
Its much easier than explaining why someone died .
I know its about boats but many marine items are overbuilt for safety and designed to last in very extreme conditions I used to do quit a bit of sailing and plan to use the things I learned there when I can finally get started on a bus .
" Inverters electronically convert the power from 12- or 24-volt DC batteries to 120- or 240-volt AC current (the same as shore power or household electricity, albeit with lower capacity). Most inverters are also capable of reverse operation to create battery voltage from the power derived from either a shore-power connection or a generator. In other words, they’re battery chargers too, and often very effective ones. "
