Not sure if you really have a question or just a comment, but the answer is you power a 12V inverter with a 12V battery. A 100Ah battery would be fine. You will be limited to 1200W maximum by your battery's BMS since it is what is controlling the current output of your 12V battery. In reality...

I don't know of a schematic, but you can figure out the continuity of each terminal with a multimeter. Here is how mine is wired. There are three different terminals - red, yellow, black. Two connections per terminal, top and bottom, for six total connections to three terminals. The top and...

I have been looking for something similar for years. It doesn't exist in the hobbyist price range. The technology has been there to build something like this for a long time but I guess no company feels its worth it or doesn't want to impact sales of their $3000+ devices. I have researched ways...

They are kind of like a mix between Harbor Freight and Temu I guess. They couldn't manufacture everything they sell. They just provide a brand for products. Maybe they make some things. I am sure they don't make inverters, but neither does any name brand I know. In fact what does it mean to...

If you approach your question from a different angle it might end up being easier to understand. But first, let's clarify that a raspberry Pi can't use more than 15W of power at maximum load since its power adapter is rated at 15W. You almost got it right, its 5V @ 3A not 3V @ 5A. In reality it...

It sounds like you want to up the voltage on the Drok so that you can up its power output about 4x. Is that correct? Sounds like a great idea to maximize what you have available. That would effectively give you 60V output at 10A on the Drok and 600W charging instead of 150W charging out of the...

The answer to your question depends on the voltage and current output of your ebike charger. If it has a 48V 20A output, then you are talking about 48V * 20A = 960VA = 960W power output. That would require a 1000W inverter at a minimum to feed the charger. You need to make sure you have some...

If you want something inexpensive and still great, take a look at the 2500W VEVOR units. I have the 3500W unit currently and am buying a 2500W model this week. They are rock solid and quiet. I have evaluated most of the models listed above and don't recommend a single one of them. The Giandels...

That's too bad. I was hoping. When I click the link I don't get the error page you did. Instead I get an empty page with Watts247 header and footer. So maybe he is working on it. I have seen this problem before with their website.

I don't understand the reasoning behind most of the comments here. The VEVOR inverters are great. They produce 120VAC rather than 110VAC like traditional cheapo Chinese inverters. Amazon sells them themselves. They handle load well, at least the loads I have run (around 1500W) with no voltage...

Since you are talking about 120/240VAC split phase support, continuous load of over 7KW for AC, and your existing grid-tie solar inverter, you need a real all house inverter. Nothing less will meet your requirements. Options are the Lux Power 12K unit or an equivalent Sol Ark unit. There really...

I believe the Schneider unit you are talking about is limited to 25A not 50A. That's because its a 6KW inverter not a 12KW inverter. You would need two in parallel to compare.

Its been a while since I read what's new. I've caught up on everything thing in this and the original thread. Sounds like a lot of controversy. A couple of points I can make if anyone cares. The original thread that I started on the Lux Power 12K unit was a year ago. Those units were...

Well done, and I would also like to thank you for joining the forum. We have been waiting for you to do so for a long time. Hopefully you continue to provide real information we need about your inverter. Also glad to see you are coming to Salt Lake City.

I just didn't spell it out for you. What I said was you can couple any amount you want on the output side of the inverter. The inverter just provides the grid signal. You must specify how you are AC coupled when you talk about AC coupling. You can be AC-coupled on the input side of the inverter...
