Inverters & Inverter/Chargers

Use Suitable 230V Appliances Away from Mains Power

An inverter converts stored battery energy into AC electricity for suitable 230V appliances. An inverter/charger also recharges the battery from a compatible mains supply and, depending on the model, manages switching between mains and inverter power.

Choose around the appliances you intend to run. Check continuous power, starting demand and the combined load of equipment used together. VA and watt ratings are different, so use the manufacturer’s specifications when comparing models.

High-power appliances can draw substantial current from a 12V battery. The battery, cabling, connections and fuse protection must support the inverter, and sufficient usable capacity is needed for the expected runtime.
