[Mobile-Portable] 101zd mobile issue

[Scott Oakland]

Hi Art - I'm not using the car battery (2003 Honda Civic) - I'm using an 
auxillaiy "jumper battery" that supposed to give 1000 amp hours. I 
notice it is fine when fully charged - I just tried it in the house and 
the inverter beeped the warning signal but didn't shut down on transmit. 
So is the answer to be sure the battery is fully charged and get a 
larger inverter? If so what size?

Tnx
Scott
