Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter
BatteryStuff.com is pleased to carry pure sine wave inverters and inverter charger combo units. Pure sine wave inverters, or true sine wave inverters, are battery-powered inverters that produce clean, stable power that mimics a typical home AC outlet. Pure sine wave inverters are great for microprocessor devices such as TV, computers, and home electronics.
Inverter Chargers are combo units that consolidates a battery charger and pure sine wave inverter into a single unit. Inverter chargers are popular in boats, RV, or off-grid locations with intermittent AC power. An inverter charger combo unit will provide clean energy when inverting off the battery pack. When AC power is present, AC passes through the unit, so you can charge your batteries and power your AC devices simultaneously.
If you need help sizing a battery-powered inverter or inverter charger, we have a tutorial on how to size an inverter and the battery pack. Or our tech support team is always available to assist customers with helpful pointers.
What is a pure sine wave inverter?
A pure sine wave inverter closely matches the AC power we expect to receive from our wall outlets. These inverters are typically more expensive because they produce a steady sine wave that transitions smoothly as it periodically oscillates. Pure sine wave inverters are recommended for most newer electronics, CFL and LED lights, radio equipment, and even basic equipment that has brushless motors.
Do I need pure sine wave or modified sine wave inverter?
A pure sine wave inverter is required for most newer electronics, such as LED TVs, LED lights, sensitive medical equipment, radios, variable speed motors, and most micro-circuitry electronics.
A modified sine wave inverter is less efficient but more affordable. However, they are only recommended for basic electronics such as a heater, toaster, coffee pot, and non-variable speed or brushless motors.
When in doubt, we recommend choosing a pure sine wave inverter as it will provide clean, stable power.
Is it worth getting a pure sine wave inverter?
When a pure sine wave inverter is sized correctly the experience should be more or less hassle-free. A pure sine wave inverter produces the cleanest power that mimics a typical wall outlet.
This type of inverter is typically needed for most modern electronics with microprocessor circuitry. These electronics include newer TVs, sensitive medical equipment like a CPAP, newer power tools, and modern LED and CFL lighting. When in doubt, we recommend a pure sine wave inverter.
