BESTEK 1000w 12v to 110v inverter power supply 12v battery backup power charger inverter power solo

There are days when I don't feel very smart.

When I got this unit I wanted to test it so I put the cigarette lighter plug on and plugged it into the car, plugged in my electric drill and then blew the fuse on the cigarette lighter socket.

Dummy, the lighter fuse is only 15 amps.

12 volt system at 15 amps, 12 x 15 = 180watts.

Even if you get a 50 amp fuse, 12 x 50 = 600 watts.

You can't fully use this.

This has to be connected directly to the battery for full use.

Connected directly to the battery works fine.

This thing rocks, power went out I hooked my TV, laptop, and a couple lamps. Not quite as good a a generator, but in a pinch it will work.

I give it three stars because it is typical quality of a product made in China--mediocre fit and finish, but it does work. The 2 AC outlets are closer together than a standard home socket, so that could cause problems if you try to plug in more than one wall wart. The outlets are not electrically grounded in any way, but this may true of all inverters since you're just taking DC +/and turning it into AC. There is a fuse soldered in place inside the case, so if for some reason that blows, you are out of luck unless you disassemble the case, desolder the blown fuse, and then resolver a new fuse in its place. To permanently install a fuse is just simply a poor design.

Overall then, it is okay, but not high quality. I thought about giving it 4 stars, the build quality and the oddly soldered fuse don't rate that in my book. See the video to understand about the replaceable fuse being permanently soldered in place.

I use this inverter with marine batteries to power our booth at the art shows. So far, it works great. With that color, there is no way to lose it at the shows by accident. It comes with the cables which is good. The price is the best I could find in the USA, unless you order some no-name brand direct from China.

I've used this on a couple of camping trips. I use it to charge my Makita batteries for my radio and tools. It works good and hasn't had a problem yet. I'm able to charge 2 batteries at the same time. I use the battery clamps to attach it directly. When you do so, connect the positive cable first to cut down on sparking.
