If you love to travel and go camping or you simply don't want to get caught off guard during sudden power outages, then you should consider installing a pure sine wave inverter in Australia in your vehicle. With this device, you can transform your car into a reliable power source, allowing you to utilise a wide range of common household appliances and power tools despite being off the grid.
Take note, however, that inverters do not generate their own electricity. They simply convert DC electricity from your car's battery into AC power. This is why it's important to take into account the kind of battery you're going to use with the inverter. Here's a quick inverter battery buying guide to help you decide.
1. Capacity
Battery capacities are indicated in AH or ampere hour. It tells you how much power a battery can supply in every hour of operation. For example, a 150 AH battery can provide you with 150 amps of power for every 60 minutes of operation. Common inverter batteries capacities are 100A, 150A, and 180A.
When choosing a battery, make sure that you take into account the type of appliances or tools you want to connect to your 12v pure sine wave inverter. It is because the capacity of your battery will determine how long you can use the inverter to power up your devices. You have to consider the inverter size as well. If you have a high-power capacity inverter, like a 1500/3000w inverter for instance, it's best to get a high-power battery so you can keep your devices running for as long as you need.
2. Inverter efficiency and battery charging
Inverter efficiency basically refers to the amount of power it consumes relative to the amount of power it draws from the battery. Inverter efficiency usually ranges from 50% to 90%. Inverter batteries generally need to be charged and this is where inverter efficiency comes in. An efficient 24v pure sine wave inverter draws minimum power from a main source to allow the batteries to charge, whereas inefficient inverters waste a considerable amount of energy when the battery is charging.
3. Battery warranty and/or guarantee
Just like when buying any electronic product, it's important to make sure that the battery you'll get for your power inverters have a warranty or better yet, a guarantee. With a product warranty, you can have the assurance that the manufacturer will provide maintenance or repairs for a certain period of time if something goes wrong with the battery. A guarantee, on the other hand, means you'll get a new replacement for your faulty battery.
