BLUEMOMENT

Ho, ho, been havin' fun fitting an inverter (1000w continous, 2000w peak, modified sine wave type, £99 from Towsure). As would seem obvious, connect positive to common oot on battery master switch and negative to earth, Hmmm, didnae seem tae work. Much fekkin aboot wi'a multimeter eventually reveals...
