The 1000W (2000W peak) modified sine wave inverter is a versatile solution for drivers, caravaners, campers, and tradespeople who need access to power in remote areas or sites with limited power sources. This inverter safely converts a vehicle’s 12V DC battery into a 230V AC power supply, making it ideal for powering UK standard appliances such as laptops, mobile phones, LCD TVs, DVD players, and cordless power tool chargers.
The inverter is housed in a durable anodized aluminium case and features a built-in cooling fan to prevent overheating. It includes two 3-pin UK plug sockets and a single USB charge port, providing multiple options for powering and charging devices. It’s compatible with most 12V cars, 4x4s, lorries, motorcycles, as well as caravans, motorhomes, and boats.
The inverter connects to the vehicle’s battery using the supplied battery connector cables and operates whether the engine is on or off. It provides continuous power of 1000W and can handle peak loads of up to 2000W. Please be cautious of the following: using two plugs simultaneously will split the continuous load to 500W per socket. Overloading the sockets can lead to damage.
