Running a 13000 W device from a 12 V system (13.8 V full charge) will draw about 100 Amps. Actually more, because the inverter will not be 100 % efficient. Given that a deep cycle AGM battery should not regularly be run down to below 80 % charge, this means you can really only afford to run a load like this for about 10 mins.
Late comment .. You may already know ...But it is not advisable to run Inverter of AGM battery .. Your much better of getting a lithium.. Kings ones are actually getting some good reviews and are reasonable when on special.. Lithium don't get the voltage drop that AGM do .. They sit at 13v all the way to flat .. Then fall of a cliff ..
Hey mate. I agree. Back when this video was done. Kings didn’t have lithium batteries available. But now, they are super cheap and we purchase two 120 for our new camper and running the same but a newer inverter model.
I agree 100%. This was the first time using an inverter. But now I have the same inverter connected to two 120amp batteries and the inverter is still running. Not bad for a cheapie
Hey Alek, I really liked your video about the Kings Inverter. I’m willing to buy one and if I may ask, is it still doing a good job ? Honestly I don’t really need 1500W as I will be using only a mini bar and laptop/iphone in my camper but 4WD Supacentre have a really good deal to buy it with other things I will need.
Thanks for the feedback. For the money, it’s fantastic! I’ve actually installed into my caravan now and it’s running the same coffee machines, chargers all my laptop and camera gear. You won’t regret it
Hey mate, only just seen this video, great video by the way ! Did you use a circuit breaker on connection ?? i couldn't quite see behind the coffee machine haha, ive just purchased one and need to know if i need one. Also, now that you've had it in for a bit, whats your feedback ? Do's & Dont's ?
Gday Steven. I had it connected directly to battery box which has its own circuit breaker. I use it for everything camping. Projector for movies. No issues yet. Worth every penny
100% agree. However I did a text while camping with the battery, inverter and coffee machine and no car. The battery didn’t lose that much power. Very surprised
