A power inverter is a device that converts the direct current (DC) output from a battery into 230V AC mains electricity (alternating current). This type of electricity is the same as what utility companies provide to power standard household appliances such as TVs, fridges, radios, lights, and to charge laptops or mobile phones.

By connecting a power inverter to a battery, you can power household appliances in areas with no access to mains electricity, such as in a motorhome, caravan, boat, farm, or any other remote location. Inverters are also useful for off-grid and backup systems during power outages.

The 600W 12V pure sine wave power inverter mentioned here is capable of generating 600W of continuous power and up to 1200W of power at peak times. The pure sine wave output harmonically follows a smooth sine wave and is almost identical to normal mains electricity. This type of output is superior to square sine wave or modified sine wave output for running appliances for several reasons. It is suitable for a broader range of appliances and is more efficient compared to modified sine wave inverters.

This product also comes with important protection and safety features, such as over-discharge, overload, overheating, and short-circuit automatic shutdown. It also features a USB port for faster charging of mobile phones, MP3 players, and other USB-compatible devices. The package includes 0.5m battery cables (10mm2 cross-section).

The inverter can power a variety of appliances, and if you are unsure about whether 600W is enough for your specific appliances, there is a table of typical power consumption of domestic appliances available.
