How long can I expect my devices to run?
Thursday, July 15th, 2010Is my inverter weatherproof?
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010No. Treat your inverter like you would your TV. You wouldn’t put your TV outside in the rain, please don’t leave your inverter there either. Be aware of lighting storms. If struck, your inverter would go into a permanent overload state and may even smoke it. If using in a marine environment, try to keep it tucked away underneath, in a dryer area.
My inverter’s fans won’t come on!
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010Good! On almost all of the inverters that we carry which are rated 1000 watts and above, the fans are connected to a thermal switch which will only allow the fans to come on when they reach a certain temperature. This helps keep your batteries holding their charge longer, and also makes it QUIET! Hooray!

What is the difference between a modified sine and pure sine wave inverter?
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010Modified sine wave power inverters are generally more portable than pure sine wave power inverters, lighter, and lower in cost. If your device will handle voltage fluctuations, a modified sine wave inverter should be considered. Most devices that people typically wish to power will work fine with a modified sine wave inverter, as a precaution, please contact the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is compatible.
Pure sine wave power inverters motor’s run cooler, last longer and provide very clean power like you would receive from a power company. Devices such as laser printers, digital clocks, and most medical equipment require a pure sine wave inverter to run correctly. As noted above, as a precaution, please contact the manufacturer of your device to determine if pure sine wave power is required.
