A power inverter is a device that converts the output of a battery (DC, or direct current) into 230V AC mains electricity (alternating current). This type of electricity is what utility companies supply to run standard domestic appliances such as TVs, fridges, radios, lights, or to charge a laptop or mobile phone. If you have a battery, connecting a power inverter will allow you to power household appliances in areas with no access to mains electricity, like in a motorhome, caravan, boat, farm, or any other remote location. Inverters are also useful for off-grid and backup systems in case of power cuts.

This is a 300W 24V pure sine wave power inverter, capable of generating 300W of continuous power and up to 600W of power at peak times. The pure sine wave output is almost identical to normal mains electricity and is superior to square sine wave or modified sine wave output for running appliances. It is suitable for a broader range of appliances and is more efficient. The inverter also includes important protection and safety features such as over-discharge, overload, overheating, and short-circuit automatic shutdown. Additionally, it features a powerful USB port for faster charging of mobile phones, MP3 players, and other USB-compatible devices (2.1A).

This item comes with 0.5m battery cables (4mm2 cross-section). If you are unsure whether 300W is sufficient for your appliances, you can refer to the "How to choose a power inverter for your motorhome, campervan, or boat" article. Below are the detailed specifications:

This product includes a user manual that explains wiring and operations (see Documents tab). To use it, simply connect it to your 24V battery or battery bank using the "+" and "-" cables provided with the unit. Then, plug your appliances into the inverter socket and turn the power switch on. If you need more sockets, you can use an adaptor, but make sure that the total power consumption of all appliances connected to this inverter is within 300W.

If you are using our solar charging systems, you can connect this inverter to your 24V battery or battery bank alongside any of our solar systems or charging kits. If you already have one of our 24V solar charging kits with a charge controller connected to your 24V battery, you can simply add this inverter to your existing system by connecting the inverter to your battery in parallel with the solar controller and 24V appliances. Please do not connect the inverter to the "load" terminals of the solar charge controller, as the power may be too high for the solar controller. It is recommended to connect the inverter directly to your 24V battery.

If you do not currently have one of our 24V solar charging kits but plan on building an off-grid solar system with 230V mains output, we recommend using 24V batteries / 24V solar charging kits and this inverter with a 24V input voltage, rather than having all 12V components and an inverter with a 12V input voltage. Higher voltage of the system components is beneficial because: cables for 24V do not have to be as thick as those required for 12V, and input into the power inverter will have a twice as low current (Amps), making the whole system more stable and reliable.
