John, I don't know of any utilities which measure the incoming voltage directly (though I have a low voltage scope thingy which fits inside a d-type on the parallel port). I assume your inverter is producing a theoretical 110v? I've noticed that my worldwide charger takes much longer to charge when I'm in a 110v bit of the world than in a sensible 220v bit. Maybe there just isn't enough voltage from the inverter to make the thing work properly? Neil Possible. The voltage occasionally drops out when the sun isn't shining. The adapter accually produces 15 volts directly from the battery 12 volts so there is little waste such as there would be if I was converting 12 volts to 120 volts then back to 15 volts for the libretto. I think I might have worked it out to be a bad deep cycle battery- it is at least 7 years old so might have reached the end of its life.
