Touche' has a 1000 watt inverter. I don't run any sensitive electronics from it, just the coffee maker and the Admiral's low wattage travel hair dryer. The unique thing about Touche's inverter system is that it can power all the 120 AC receptacles throughout the boat. I have a rotary isolator

Stus-List Re: Sizing an inverter

Inverters are sized to the expected loads. Batteries are sized to how long you want to run those loads. Example: My wife’s hair dryer on 500 watts is drawing about 50 amps. If she ran it for an hour that would be 50 amp/hours, which would be all you can use out of a 100AH battery. Thanks to

Stus-List Sizing an inverter

OK, an DC/AC Pure Sine Wave inverter looks attractive I've heard some boats have 1000 watt, some 2000watt and some 3000 or more. What size inverter is right for a boat equipped with two 100Ah AGM batteries? One battery provides 12v x 100ah: 1200watts. My system can provide 2400 watts but I

I believe this, My Microwave went this summer with a big bang. I can't remember if it was at the dock or on the Inverter, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if shitty AC could have degraded it. It was a pretty nice one too. My next Inverter/Charger will be true Sine Wave. Bill Coleman On Tue,

Thanks Neil and Joe. Much to consider. I like the invertor with auto switch built in. You are right Joe. I setup my boat as a man-cave at the dock, and racer away from the dock. I installed a 120V system with breaker panel and all circuits on Shorepower only. I figured I didn't want to

The one I linked to is pure sine wave. The one I have is not pure sine, they were quite expensive back then. Even odder is it shows 60 volts hot to ground and 60 volts neutral to ground. It has never caused an issue but for one thing - one computer power supply I have won't work with it. The GFIs

If you are looking at inverters, keep in mind that wattage isn’t all there is to an inverter. Consider what you are plugging in. Coffee makers and toasters are not particular about the quality of the output. Computers and other devices are. The need a true sine wave, versus a modified sine

Can we back up a bit? Do you right now have a TV that you can only use on shore power? Maybe all you need is an inverter, they don’t cost too much. I have had a 300 watt inverter for ages and added a 1,000 watt inverter for bigger tools and the admiral’s hair dryer. The smaller one is better

I have a Vintage Melitta percolator. Uses 900watts. Just under my 1000 watt inverter rating. I have resuscitated it several times. I like it because the pot lifts off the base. Easy to carry it out of the galley to pour. Elite Gourmet makes a similar lift off pot coffee maker that's rated at

Watt-hours is amp-hours X volts. My house battery is 180 amp hours and 12 volts, so it is 2,160 watt-hours. Practically using more than about 1100 of that at once is very hard on the battery. A lithium battery can do 80% cycles no problem, so that would give you an effective 1700 or so
