Review on 3000W 24V Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter: DC to AC120V with Dual AC Outlets, Remote Control, USB 2.4A, and LED Display by Ario Rojas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They sent a model for 3000 watts.

So I bought a 2000 and got a 3000, old stock and maybe a discontinued model. Tried contacting CS with some concerns, soft start, idle or low power is around 102-103 volts, with a few hundred watts load it goes up to 106-107 volts. It didn't output enough voltage to activate my 3-position AIM relay switch. The output power meter is very low, namely 455 watts while showing 260 watts, and the battery voltage meter is slightly higher, 0.2 volts. I bought for a standalone camp and upgraded the solar power from 650w to 1830w. The idea is to combine the 24 volt main batteries with a 40 amp MPPT controller with a 1180 watt array and the 12 volt well pump battery with a 30 amp MPPT controller AND the 24 volt mains with a 650 watt 20A inverter PWM controller. many. The 30 amp MPPT controller charges the 12 volt well pump battery while the 20 amp inverter charges the 24 volt grid without using excess power. Yes, this is a solar panel, two controllers and two batteries with different voltages. Surprisingly the inverter works well and will see how it performs by running it for a month at a time during hunting camp. My only complaint really is the plastic nuts to connect the battery clip to the PMW charge controller input. The small battery studs on the back should be 5/16 instead of 1/4 but they work. The red and black plastic nuts have a small threaded metal insert, but they don't hold the load. What nut size will replace these coming failures? The charger stopped working twice during testing due to these weak connection points. I understand why they put plastic connectors there because the common ground terminal was placed next to the positive input terminal and I'm sure there will be a hit or two waiting to be replaced with metal nuts. We need to find an insulator for grounding. Finally this box didn't have a remote switch, pretty sure that's what was meant with this unit and also with the 2000w box it was supposed to be. I was thinking of returning it to replace the one I ordered but didn't get an email from CS in Australia to see what they thought. This unit is intended to replace the old Whistler 1500W 12V unit which is bulletproof. I hope this one works as well if not better than the old faithful one. He will continue to serve as a backup. UPDATE: So I hooked this unit up to a 1830 pva drained 450ah battery and it works better than most I've tried. It was a bit of a let down that it didn't have a remote control and had to turn the unit on and off from a remote inverter location rather than inside the warehouse. I emailed the support team with no response. This is disappointing but works great in a standalone camp. After that, CS sent a remote and I had to make the cord much longer than 15 feet for the 50 foot run I had to do. The right connectors, a fifteen meter cable and a set of crimping tools and everything works like clockwork.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
