Tripp Lite Portable Inverter PINV1000 Review

I am using a compact 1000W Tripp Lite portable inverter with a 12V sealed lead acid battery that is charged with my home built solar panel system. And so far it's working very well. If you want to use this inverter in the same way, please remember that any inverter over 400W must be properly grounded. I put together a solar power system because last year we had power outages for more than a week after a severe storm hit our town and we relied on a couple of inverters that I own to provide the…

This is a well made high efficiency modified sine wave inverter that can run 1000w continuously and when I tested it it ran 1500w for almost a minute before cutting out. The fan makes noise when turned on, so it's not the best choice if you're worried about noise. I have used Tripp Lite inverters for many years and have found them to be well made and reliable. This inverter comes with a 3 foot 12 volt battery cable which is very short which led me to give it four stars instead of five. You will

I've been using Tripp Lite products for over 30 years and they rarely disappoint. This product is no exception. The design and build quality of this inverter is absolutely top notch. It seems that there are absolutely no compromises, either inside or out. It uses only high quality electronic components and is carefully assembled on a very well designed circuit board. The exterior is also crafted in a rugged style, with a massive built-in heatsink to protect the device from overheating and keep…

This 1000w 12v inverter is the most powerful I have ever used. There is no 12V power connection here, it connects directly to the battery. It was really easy to set up and I firmly anchored it to the ground with the included anchor points on the unit to keep it from moving. The on/off switch is located near the outlets and is easy to find and can be turned on or off with a simple touch when needed. This unit is powerful enough to charge 2 laptops and also to power any modern 120v devices I plan

This device is really powerful. I would say that the first thing I look at is the size of the inverter. This inverter is quite big and heavy. I would recommend this is best used on larger vehicles, not to mention you can't use this on a smaller vehicle, but it seems to work better with larger trucks or Hummers. Relatively easy to connect the battery. You must operate this device while the vehicle is running to avoid draining the battery. This can easily be used to start your devices during a…

I have used inverters before and love them but I have never used an inverter before that seems capable of powering the microwave in my car. try and don't). I use this with a newer car so I only use it when we're parked and with the hood open because the power cords are very thick/short. That's good because when you have 1000 watts of power you really need to have the right cables for it. It's nice to see that they have some wires thick enough to handle the current flowing through them. This…

A decent shed was built on my property so I could use the garage to store my cars. While I love the barn, there was no economical way to power it. I'm not afraid to mess around, so I have a very cheap 200w solar panel, charge controller, circuit breaker and compact 1000w portable inverter from Tripp Lite. I combined this with an older Group 26 car battery I had laying around. Basically, the photovoltaic panel charges the battery when the sun is shining and the inverter is powered by the…
