FAQ

What is the main use of a 12V inverter?

A 12V inverter is primarily used to convert 12V DC power into 240V / 230V AC power. This allows you to power household appliances and other AC devices from a 12V battery, making it ideal for use in vehicles, boats, or during camping trips.

How do I choose the right 12V inverter for my needs?

When choosing a 12V inverter, consider the power requirements of the devices you want to use. The inverter should have a wattage rating that's higher than the total wattage of all your devices you intend of using at once. Also, consider whether you need a pure sine wave inverter, which is necessary for sensitive electronics, but more expensive.

Can a 12V inverter power a laptop or a TV?

Yes, a 12V inverter can power a laptop, TV, or other similar devices. However, you need to ensure that the inverter's power output (in watts) is sufficient for the device. Always check the power requirements of your devices before using them with an inverter. To avoid damaging the sensitive electronics in your laptop and TV, a pure sine wave inverter is recommended.

Does a 12V inverter drain the battery when on, but not in use?

Yes, a 12V inverter will still draw power from the battery even when it's not in use. To prevent unnecessary battery drain, it's recommended to turn off the inverter when it's not needed. When on, even with no load, it may draw current as low as 0.3A for a 200W inverter, or as large as 2-3A for a 2000W inverter.
