Hot as all buggery raining as well, a brown out this time, 120v on everything, looks like they dropped a phase in the area and everything else is loaded to buggery.
Oh well, I've got the fluro, computer, fridge, TV and even the "swampy" evaporative cooler full of ice cubes running off the inverter

Bugger, fell asleep with TV, fridge & fan still on, TV was flicking on and off when I woke at 5am, power was back on, went to start the car, cran.........
Hmm, maybe the Auxillaries are too flat to be linked to the start battery, unlinked, click. Main battery is near dead, could have been for a while, just jump started by the auxillaries all the time, well it was in the car 3years ago when I brought it.

Yep Karmic payback,
My car runs my house, then the next morning with the battery charger hooked up my house runs the car
Actually it was only just to flat to start, the inverter cuts out at 11volts or so only needed to charge for an hour.
