Solid quiet power
By J. regal
I installed this on a truck for a rancher. He needed to use electric saws, drills, and such that can usually require a generator. I tried to suggest a generator but he thought this would be better. It has been running find for a year now and he couldn't be happier. Not having to fool with gas, oil, stink, noise make this a pretty good choice. Flip the switch, plug in and use.There is an oddity or feature about this. It saves power by a sort of use test. If you don't set the setting correctly smaller tools will not enable the unit. I think the thing can be set pretty low. Just be warned that if you try to change a cellphone it may not work on some settings. This turn off (battery save) feature may take maybe 1/4 of a second or so to bring online. Not any big deal but a small moment of start up wait. After it is on it is on until it decides to power save again. Might be able to set full power all the time if needed.I have a few smaller of these that are on the limit of usability for hand power tools. On my first test setup with this and an old battery it proved to be more than up to the task. A test with a circular saw on wood didn't slow down the saw, a heavy duty electric impact hammer pulled off lug nuts. It can run a large hammer drill easily.The actual install was two good batteries and some 0 gauge wire. Might be you could use 3 or 4 batteries if you have to keep using this to the limits and be sure that ever watt you use needs to be charged back up as soon as possible.It is kind of small looking, that worried me at first. Kind of lightweight too.The remote is one of the best features. It turns it off and tells battery status and load from inside the truck.I had to mount it in a weather proof electric box that the owner could open on hot days or high loads. I was worried about heat but the fans almost never turn on. I guess you could use it inside a box for light loads.The only downside is the quality of the current. Unless you purchase a true sine wave you end up with a stepped square wave. Not a big deal but some TV's and other things that are made for 50 hz seem to act up a bit. The tv brightness was much dimmer. I had to use one of these in a power outage for a few hours off a truck battery.I was impressed with this. You just have to have some monster cables and connections. A big fuse is suggested. All in the owners manual. The manual is generic for a few models but clear and contains all you need to setup and use.Be sure you understand the safety issues. Almost impossible to ground this setup in a mobile install.

I just have a claim about this product
By Nunzio Lastella
When you put a low charge to this it doesn't send the 110 V. It sends about 90V and you have a risk to damage the device plugged. when it sends the 110V works great and it's really quiet. it saves the battery very well. In general terms it's a very good product
