I have a Xantrex XPower 300 which is supposed to deliver 300W (600W Peak) of modified sine wave. It is hardwired with substantial wiring directly to big +ve and -ve bus bars in the boat (i.e. not through a silly cigar lighter).
However, it will not work with my portable computer mains charger (Dell 65W). I have also tried it with someone else's computer as well with the same results.
In both cases, the undervoltage alarm goes off in the inverter and the computer does not get any power.
What is going on? Does it really have to be a pure sine wave for these cheap chinese battery chargers that Dell uses????
