Hardwire or plug directly into the optional 20A GFCI receptacle. View AC & battery current, % status bar for inverter output on the onboard display. Extended Surge Rating: Surges to 2X continuous power for 2 seconds for motor loads. True Sine Wave AC Power: For operation of sensitive and motor loads. Ignition Control: Feature to turn inverter on/off via a 12 VDC signal and to minimize battery drain by switching the inverter off when the ignition key is turned off. Wide 10-18 VDC Input Range: Ensures inverter operation on high voltage alternators found on many new vehicle chassis. Built-in 30A AC Transfer Relay: Senses when outside AC Power is present and transfers the load from the inverter to the source of incoming power (shore or generator).

SUPER poor design - starters, chargers and mobile power

The inverter has several quick connectors. If you use 10 gauge solid wire. A nightmare. Do not buy anything from GetFeetWet Navigation Inc! BECAUSE it is very difficult to return, even if the product is not good, GetFeetWet will charge you a high restocking fee.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Some flaws

This list is incorrect or slightly misleading.

This listing shows the X model which is an inverter only. The title and description indicate that this is an inverter charger (model XC). I ordered without realizing it and shipped it to the Bahamas via Florida to get my boat (which is also my home) repaired, only to find the listing was wrong and I had the wrong item. It will be some time before I can find a replacement.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • Many Things

This is a pure inverter, not an inverted charger as pictured and described

Inverter works as described with one exception, it is NOT the charger pictured in the title and description. The inverter/charger ends with an XC ID. And now my return window has ended so I now have a Β£500 inverter when I need an inverter charger. Doesn't this seem like false advertising, especially when pointed out?

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • Difficult to tell

Reliable sine wave inverter

Powerful sine wave inverter. Installation is vital and is best performed by an experienced electrician with the correct gauge wire and electrical connections. I've had no problem running 4/0 copper wire between batteries or stranded 10 gauge THHN wire in liquid tight AC PVC conduit to use the built in automatic transfer relay. This inverter provides very clean AC power, much cleaner in frequency and voltage than my generator. The inverter offers reliable programming capability for virtually any

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • The list will be long.
