@gavinstirling7088 2 года назад

Appreciate this video so much. We've just come out of a power cut in the UK, the second this month so I'm looking at buying a budget Inverter to run our heading boiler and sober device chargers. I bought a modified sine wave 800W which worked to an extent but the boiler controls needed reset ever so often. I'm pretty sure this was due to the modified sine wave rather than the total current capacity..

These smaller size pure sine wave devices would be perfect for a person living in an apartment who needed some way to keep the fridge running and at least one lamp, preferably an LED one, the LED lights are very low power consuming, A person with a house could use a gasoline generator if they wanted, but the apartment dweller can't. But if I lived somewhere that gets blizzards and then power outages, I would get something that can power a 1500 watt little space heater and the fridge and at least one lamp. Now we're talking around 2200 to 3000 watt inverters and two batteries linked together to give you at least 200AH of power. I would get a "Giandel", or a "Renogy" brand and a good Lithium deep cycle battery not a car starting battery. A 1000 watt for a computer or fridge and a lamp or two. A 2000W or better to give plus to add a little heater. But you are so right: you really do get what you pay for!

Something is wrong here. I just got the same inverter and so I wanted to test it while I could still return it. With a measured 455 watt load I was still getting a nice sine wave at 122VRMS and 60.07 Hz. Sure looks like a pure sine wave inverter to me.

Would this be able to power up a ps4 and monitor if only plugged into to the cigarette lighter while the car is turned on?

@Joeteck 3 года назад

No, you need a direct connection to the battery. The PSU on the PS4 requires 250 watts. a cigarette lighter plug only provides 120 watts max. You'll blow the fuse or cause a fire in your car.

@njfulwider5 Год назад

Did you test the max voltage you can run this and the minimum. I have a 4s20p battery, I'd like to use with this. Manual online, just says 15-16 volts max and 11-12 volts minimum. Thanks for reviewing 😀

@Joeteck Год назад

No, it's a 12v inverter. Doing so would damage the device and most likely the equipment attached. And if I did it without a load it wouldn't be a good test. Besides any car battery going lower than 10v would be unrecoverable and will need to be replaced

@njfulwider5 Год назад

@@Joeteck right, but alot of DIYers like myself, use lithium Ion, or Life batteries when building solar generators. Most companies do the same. Unfortunately you can't really use 12v or 3s. But you should based on the specs. Use 4s. Just curious if maybe you tested the cutoff and over voltage of the 500 watt inverter. The manual is a little vague when it comes to the voltages. I do know, the 4s will use the most. I can only charge them to 3.75-3.85. If 15 volts is the max. But if it's 16 volts, I can charge to 4v. As for the low end of the voltage, even at 10v-11v. The batteries would only discharge to around 2.5-2.75, which is fine also. My battery is around 52 amp hours. But I'll loose a little charging to 3.85-4. But at that voltage, the batteries should be safer. Thanks for getting back to me, I just seen this inverter on Amazon and I was curious if you might have done this type of testing.

When they advertise 500W is that 500W peak, 500W peak to peak, 500W average, or 500W RMS??

@thelandlord2134 5 дней назад

Interesting question. Most inverters do say "X watts continuous, X+ watts peak" but I don't see that in the manual anywhere for this inverter, it just says 500 watts. It does say that it starts to limit at 600 watts AC output and the DC is fused at 80 amps. I was also able to get 450 watts out of mine and it didn't shut down or limit so I think it's probably 500 watts continuous and something between 600 and blowing the fuses peak. If someone tests that do make a comment with your results.

@minklein 2 года назад

my question is can i run a laptop for 6 hours or so constantly? a gaming laptop that pulls roughly 200 watts

@Joeteck 2 года назад

Yes, as long as you have a few batteries in parallel to maintain the current requirements. Let say it's a 17A draw, we multiple that by 6 (6 hour requirement) and we get 102Ah battery required. Just so you know, to convert watts into AMP or Visa versa, voltage X amps give you watts, or watts divided by volts gives you AMPS. 200/12 = 16.67. I rounded it up to 17Amps. Hope this helps. Plus you're gonna want to charge it to while playing, so you'll need something pretty strong to charge it quickly. You'll need a charger at least 20A, so if you use it while charging it will still give you 3.5AMPs of charging while using the computer. Personally 200W is a bit low for a gaming laptop. I would be very surprised if it was.. good luck.

If I plug this into the lighter socket of my F150and then plug a 300 watt coffee pot to it will it F up my alternator?

@jarrettgray1948 15 дней назад

At idle, your alternator should be able to put out around 600 watts before it starts draining the battery. Coffee pots usually use more power than 300 watts, though, because of the almost instantaneous hot water need. You'd probably want to get a 1500 watt inverter for a coffee maker.

@jarrettgray1948 15 дней назад

I'd also use the alligator clips hooked straight to the battery because you'll probably blow the cigarette lighter fuse or melt the thin wire.

@Carlos-jh5tb 3 года назад

Wouldn't the test be more accurate with a battery charger on the battery while drawing the load on the inverter? To simulate a running engine/alternator? You don't think the voltage dipping below 12v would mess with it? That is a cheap lead acid WalMart battery...

@Joeteck 3 года назад

Actually, no. A battery charger doesn't put out the same (AMPS) current as an alternator. Most inverter use is done after charge.

@@Joeteck well not a small charger. But for a 500watt inverter like this one that's designed to be used in a car. It's recommended you have the car running.
