Inverter Buying Tips!

Buy the largest inverter you can afford.


Prices range from £30.00 to well over £2000.00+. 


An 1100-1500 watt inverter is ideal for most people's uses. 


However if you only plan to power a laptop, LED lights, a fan or charge a phone, get yourself a 300-750 watt inverter. 


Most people choose a 1500-2000 watt inverter to cover their needs but if  you want to run a wider variety of household appliances you should be looking to buy a 2000-3000 + watt inverter.


Pure sine wave inverters do costs a bit more, but in my experience it is worth it. Your appliances and motors will run smoother with more power. 


Modified sine wave inverters work, but your TV & other appliances will thank you for getting a pure sine wave inverter.


IMPORTANT!..To avoid larger sparks and high inrush currents, please always use a resistor to pre-charge the internal capacitors of your inverter before connecting your battery! Available HERE from Amazon.
