Your psu might not like modified sinewave, I game fine on mine similar spec just 2x120ah lithuims

@Gtx Gaming i was thinking that as well and my psu is very old right now upon startup it makes a noise and after 10 min it goes away

I game a that same Inverter, also lithium, however I did one lead acid too, no problem.

 

[caldenb]

Isn't there a switch on the back of those modified wave inverters to select wide and narrow settings? Try using the narrow selection.

Ran my pc off one of those back in 2009 and it worked fine on narrow setting, but didn't play nice on wide setting.

it only has the 10A and 20A setting i guess its the charging rate?

It's usually an issue with older PSU's.

Yes, that's charging.
