Technical FAQs 4

What wattage Inverter should I use?

Match the inverter’s continuous wattage rating to the battery’s discharge capacity. For a 12V 200Ah battery (2.4kWh), a 2000W inverter is ideal. Formula: Inverter Wattage ≤ (Battery Voltage × Ah Rating × 0.8). Factor in surge power needs but prioritize sustained loads.

Can a 12 volt car battery support a high power inverter?

Typically, a 12-volt car battery can support an inverter with a power range of about 150 watts to 1500 watts. Please note, however, that car batteries are not suitable for driving high power inverters for extended periods of time, which may cause damage to the battery.

How much inverter power should a 100Ah battery use?

However, due to inverter efficiency and actual power usage, it is not recommended to set the load to 100% of the actual battery capacity. It is generally recommended to set it to about 80%, which is more prudent. Taking a 100Ah battery as an example, the recommended maximum inverter power is 960W (1200W × 0.8).

How much battery capacity does a 3000 watt inverter need?

To run a 3000 watt inverter, you will need a significant amount of battery capacity to support the load. The calculation is as follows: at 12 volts, a 3000 watt inverter requires approximately 250 amps of current (3000W / 12V = 250A). Therefore, if you wish to use it continuously for 1 hour, you will need at least 250Ah of battery capacity.
