Review on UL Listed AIMS Power 3000W Pure SINE Inverter: 12VDC to 120VAC Conversion Efficiency by James Cowan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Performance figures are too generous.

Tested the 1500w version with a 1200w air conditioner. It starts, runs for 10 minutes and then shuts down due to overheating. Since the housing gets very hot (fan is running) and the battery voltage is over 11.8 volts under load, the electronics are probably designed for the nominal power on the sticker, but thermally cannot withstand the full continuous load for long before it overheats.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Some difficulties
