Inverter

[Patitur]

Hi all
In looking for recommendations for a 1kw inverter that I could run off a few deep discharge batteries that I have. I did search but couldn't find anything.

Thanks

Try Maplins-they are the kiddies for all things electrical.

Thanks. Found a few just wondering if there are any brands to go with our avoid. Cheers

If you want it to power delicate electronics (TV's laptops etc) best to go for a pure sine wave type (but more expensive) for more rugged kit (lights etc) the cheaper type will suffice

I would not recommend Maplins as their are better options out there. Shop around on the net.

If your planning to run close to 1000w from it get a 2000w unit as many devices need an initial start up surge of current to get them going... and even then most have a 100% duty cycle of about half an hour..

this is what i have

Dont forget a decent size battery charger to boost your battery bank up

If you have the budget for it Victron are an excellent brand, they do a huge range so one will be just on spec. Trade price on a 1200W model is about 350 though.
