Use only with 12V deep-cycle lead-acid batteries rated for RV use. To preserve battery life do not discharge battery below 50% charged state.

What is a 12V to 240V inverter efficiency rating?

An inverter's efficiency rating reflects the amount of power lost during the 12V to 240V conversion process. In other words, it's the amount of power the inverter itself uses. For example, if an inverter uses 15% of the power it pulls from your batteries to do the inverting, it's running at 85% efficiency.

What is a power inverter used for?

This power inverter lets you run power tools, small appliances, and electronics during a camping trip, roadside stop, or power outage by using your vehicle's battery. This power inverter features a high surge capacity for products that require power up to 4000 watts to start and an LED readout to monitor amps and voltage. Not for marine use.
