Something I have wondered about are the voltage settings many RV users of inverters have to select our voltage outputs. I can select 120V, 110V and (100V as Japan) The inverter frequency setting, I realize needs to be 60 Hertz. Is there any advantage to setting an inverter to 110V, as some solar generator’s output, over a setting of 120V? I know neither 110V or 120V will damage any of my electrical equipment, I am seeking longest battery life from my battery bank using both true power devices consuming pure watts and reactive power devices using volt-amps-reactive (VAR). My heating pad might be imperceptibly less warm all night, yet will my coffee made in the microwave oven for two minutes in the morning also be less warm using 110V rather than 120V? Will I get a few more minutes of battery life if setting my inverter to 110V rather than 120V? Is there a good reason for a solar generator to output 110V rather than 120V? Or maybe just simplifying the stepping up of lithium battery DC voltage to AC voltage with no apparent benefit in how long the solar generator will power anything?
Bring on the recipes!
Yes please. Recipes are always welcome! And keep up the excellent work. Look forward to my daily dose of RV Electricity.
Absolutely share the recipes and if necessary forget the electric part! Just kidding and keep the articles AND recipes flowing.
Yes please on recipe sharing! That’s part of my RV “experience”. We never eat so good as when we’re group camping!
Yum!
Your recipes would be welcome! - I love to eat too! - Cheers Mike!
Yes, recipes are always welcome! And as a bonus, I am upgrading to paid status...
Thank you so much!

Yes, please and thank you!
Recipes please. I love to smoke meat, currently on a Masterchef electric smoker.
