To determine the correct size of your inverter, look up the wattage on all appliances you intend to run at one time. Sum up the wattages and that number will give you an idea of how large of an inverter you will want.
For example, if you wanted to power a coffee pot that requires 1200 W and a heater that requires 500 W your total wattage requirement would be 1700 W. You would then want to find an inverter that can supply more than this amount of power. You should also consider how long you want to run your appliances, as this will affect the amount of batteries you will need. Each one of our batteries supplies 1200 watts per hour.
If you are using an inverter charger we recommend using the following settings on your device with our batteries:
-
- Bulk/absorb = 14.2 V – 14.6 V
- Float = 13.6 V or lower
- No equalization (or set it to 14.4 V)
- No temperature compensation
- Absorption time = 20 minutes per battery (if it’s an option)
