When I connect a 12V battery to the positive and negative terminals of my 2014 inverter, and then I test voltage from the positive post to the inverter case, I read a voltage that quickly drops to below 0.1V...At one point it dropped down to more like 4-5V. In a less controlled "experiment", I found similar behavior with the traction pack B+, but it dropped down to about 2/3 the pack voltage. I've never been able to get a test light to light across the same locations that I can measure voltage though, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Is this unsafe considering it doesn't seem to hold a current?

Is there a way to check if my inverter is damaged and leaking voltage internally somehow?
 
How many miliamps is it?
If it's only say 1ma just ground and bond everything good and don't worry about it.
I get stray voltage on stuff all the time.
