How many Watts do I need?
To Select an Inverter that has enough power for your application, add the watts for items
you may want to run at the same time. Use the total wattage, plus 10% to 20%, as your minimum
power requirement.
Note: The wattages given below are just estimates. The actual wattage required for your
appliances may differ from those listed. Please check the nameplate on the appliance to
determine the actual wattage required.
Note: Appliances and tools with induction motors (marked in the Common Appliances Table
with a asterisk *) may require from 3 to 7 times the listed wattage when starting. The start-up
load of the appliance or tool determines whether an inverter has the capability to power it. Be
sure to check the specific wattage requirements and operating instructions for appliances / tools
to be used.
Conversion approximation formula to use is:
Watts divided (÷) by 120 = Amp
Amps multiplied (x) by 120 = Watts

What type and size Power Inverter do I need?
Choosing the right size of inverter depends on the power requirements of the appliances
you expect to operate at any given time. You should consider both the continuous and
surge power rating of your appliance. The continuous rating must be high enough to handle
all the loads that may run at the same time. The inverter must also be capable of handling
the starting surge of all loads that may start at the same time. Loads typically take many
times their continuous rating to start.
Finding a power inverter to convert DC power to AC is very important choice. It can be
difficult to know what features are needed and how to select an appropriate inverter
for your needs and specifications. Wattage, features, and connections are important
considerations, your final decision should take into account the inverter's wave
form output.
There are two general types of power inverters:
True-Sine wave or modified-sine wave (square wave): True-sine wave inverters produce
power that is either identical or sometimes slightly better to power from the public
utility power grid system. The power wave when viewed through an oscilloscope is a smooth
sine wave.
Modified-sine wave and square wave inverters: These are the most common types of power
inverters you find at retail outlets. Modified-sine wave power inverters produce a power wave
that is sufficient for most devices. The power wave is not exactly the same as electricity from
the power grid. It has a wave form that appears as a choppy squared-off wave when viewed through
an oscilloscope.
This does that mean much to you the everyday inverter user? Most household electrical devices will
run fine on either type of wave form. Most of us who are using a power inverter to run a laptop A.C.
cell phone charger, fan, or camera find that a modified-sine wave power inverter that operates through
the cigarette lighter socket the easiest to use. We usually suggest choosing power inverters that are
rated under 300 watts when using the 12-volt cigarette lighter socket found in most vehicles. We suggest
this because after reaching 300 watts of draw on the inverter, the fuses in your car will begin to blow.
The PowerBright XR100-12 is a great choice for dash boarders who would like an easy solution to power
their devices. It has one outlet and the new USB connection. Since you are plugging it into a 12-volt
socket this is all that is required for operation, it can't be beat for ease of use. This little inverter
can supply 100 watts of continuous operation up to 200 Watts peak and has a built-in surge protector.
Square wave inverters, which are appropriate for most vacationers, road and camping trips, fall into
the following four groups:
- 100-400 watts: For smaller appliances, TVs (up to 27"), VCR, computers, laptops and other mobile
office equipment. Most of these connect to a 12-Volt plug and some directly to a 12-Volt battery.
- 600 watts: Larger screen TVs, 5 amp power tools etc. Most inverters are connected directly to
the 12-volt battery and have three or more grounded outlets for powering several products at the
same time.
- 1700 watts: Larger power tools, microwave ovens, toasters, and hair dryers. All of these
inverters are designed for direct connection to the battery and can generally supply 1500 watts of
continuous power.
- 3000 watts and higher: With output power generally rated at 2500 watts for continuous load,
these inverters can power virtually all household appliances and office equipment. For loads of
this magnitude, special wiring and battery banks may be required.
The problem with wave form, comes into play when specialized pieces of equipment need to be powered.
Some devices that could have problems when they are connected to an inverter producing a modified-sine
wave signal are: oxygen concentrators, fax machines, printers, high voltage cordless tool chargers,
equipment with variable speed motors, electric shavers, and garage door openers. In addition, high-end
audio video units, plasma displays, gaming systems, and certain scientific testing equipment for which
true-sine wave is not usually required. Even so, these applications usually benefit from the improved
clarity of the electrical signal produced by a true-sine wave power inverter. If you are using these
types of items, you are usually spending good money to achieve optimal results from your equipment, and
it would be disappointing to have a lower price modified-sine wave signal cause inaccurate readings on
your piece of scientific equipment or distortion lines on your plasma TV because a lower cost modified-sine
wave power inverter was chosen.
Important to understand there is no way to upgrade or clean a modified-sine wave signal. If your
item does not work on a modified-sine wave inverter, you will need to purchase a new true-sine
wave power inverter. We often recommend that users on a tight budget purchase only enough true-sine
wave power to run required equipment and purchase a less expensive modified-sine wave inverter to
run the rest of the load. The Power Bright APS1500-12
a true-sine wave power inverter.
Many people are surprised at the overall improvement in signal quality when using inverters on
audio/video applications. They notice that there are fewer distortions and few if any interference lines.
While Batteryplex does not recommend true-sine wave inverters to most of our customers, we do advise the
consumer with no cost concerns to buy a true-sine wave product. You can trust this type of inverter will
handle most anything you plug in.
Many retail stores will not carry true-sine wave power inverters because they are significantly higher
than the modified-sine type. Batteryplex recommends the PowerBright brand inverters.
