William,
My first inverter in my own home in 1985 was a Heart Interface. I may have the specs on that inverter. I will look around tomorrow for them. I'm remembering the idle draw as about 10 Watts. What make and model battery are these? My house is on its third set of batteries and also 3rd inverter.

They are in great shape with excellent specific gravity. I have no idea why they have lasted so long. We recently pulled an old Heart HF series inverter and installed an Outback VFX3524 inverter. Coincidentally the client purchased a new flat screen TV and satellite receiver. The client reports generally lower battery voltages since the install. I am trying to figure out if it is the inverter or the TV. Does anyone know the idle draw of the HF series inverter? This information would help me troubleshoot this problem. Thanks in advance.
