The alternator needs to always have a load on the output to keep the voltage from going too high and burning out the diodes (integral to the alternator). Normally the battery provides this constant load. The risk is that your inverter might have a mode where it turns off in some way, leaving the alternator unloaded, and leaving you looking for a replacement. I'd leave the battery in the circuit, why take a chance? |
