sorry woof
I meant to say 240 V input for the battery charger
I will be connecting my 24V battery bank to the low voltage input.
this inverter has dual output 120 v and 240 v I just want to use the 240 v alone
there are three output connections neutral.. hot 1.. and hot 2........I assume I use neutral and whichever hot gives me 240 v.

 Well, not knowing exactly how it's wired,, you SHould get 240 v between the two output lines. and of course with 240 in the united states you will need the ground unless you like nasty shocks..

 It does seem rather strange that the manual that came with this inverter doesn't tell you how to use it?

 I'm assuming your battery charger is 240 v a/c,, and usually those are quite hefty units, can this inverter handle the load?

 Typically, (in the united states) you will have 120v on one and 120 v on the other hot,,so between these two you get 240 v. between the 120 v line (either one) and ground you get 120 v..

yes I have the manual online
but have not bought the inverter yet
just that I need 200 % clarifaction before I will buy
I find some of U.S. companies dont make the european applications very clear (maybe its just me )
the manual states..to connect a neutral wire and a 1 hot wire with a jumper from the other hot

 Ignore my comments, since this is a European application and the specific wiring I am not familiar with.
