Can this invert 5 marine batteries' power off a a DIY solar system to run a digital electric blanket? lights are OK but not blanket on reg. inverter.

First thing to note is that this particular "2500" Watt inverter is actually 2500 4 120v A.C. which gives you about 600 Watts per plug with no factory way to bridge it to one of the 4 plugs. Also before you buy this thing read some reviews about if you get a lemon which is common. I already decided against this inverter and it was bought for me as a present from my Sister. The inverter died in 7 weeks and after a lot of hassle we received a RMA which was sent off the end of October with zero return and zero response from the company. Do yourself a favor and find a better brand. It's worth a hundred bucks just to avoid this very cheap device. To answer your question. As long as your blanket doesn't exceed 600 Watts max your setup will work but you didn't state your amp hour total so you may only get about 2-4 hours of use before you flatten your charge. Best of luck!

No. You need an analog blanket. They don't make them anymore. But might find something on eBay.

yes, but wouldn't last that long because when you run resistance for heat it drain power too quickly even with 500 AH that you got...also check to see how much wattage your e-blanket required....if it more than 2500w the inverter will cut out... VU

If you're batteries have enough power and the solar system can keep them charged, bearing in mind you'll be taking power from the batteries at night when they....the batteries are not being charged the answer is yes. The difference is in using a pure sine wave inverter instead of a modified sine wave inverter. With regard to the output per plug, [on or from the inverter] if needed you can have a small distribution box made up to take two outputs in and one output out thereby doubling your power available but drawing more power off your batteries.

Yes, But you will have to periodically keep re-charging that Marine battery! Hooked up and turned on means the Inverter is pulling a bit of current even when nothing is plugged into it, To not use up the battery you need to just turn it on when needed. Make sure you put fuses from the battery to the inverter also!

I can't see why not. Many boat owners use this product on their Inverter, so it should work as needed.

Controller can be set to be constanly on, I've never used it with an inverter with it but I can"t see why you can"t charge the batteries. Running your lights through the inverter connected to the batteries is an unknown. I would like to hear if you can do it. I have used this controller several times, its a great unit.

Charles E. Embury Sr. said on February 21, 2015 | EditThe inverter is run off of the battery being charged by your panels and has nothing to do with the charging system or the controller. As long as your battery or batteries are charged the the inverter will supply power for you up to the rating of the inverter ,good for running low amp items so as to not kill your battery.

Sorry no you can not I have it connected to a marine battery then an inverter

Yes, but beware, you probably want to charge more than just 1 battery, more like a small bank of batteries. For example, I have mine hooked up to a small bank of 8 SLA 12V batteries giving me about 1500 watts stored to power a 1200 W Inverter for appliances. It's like a solar powered battery pack so that I can work and have phone conversations in the most odd places (no generator noise in the background, just pure silence or nature noises, it's awesome). You'll want a decent charge controller (I bought a 10 Amp controller, which is overkill, but has the better charge-methods and pattern that I wanted). Good Luck!

Not a chance, this inverter is for small appliances. Lamps, hand drill, charging battery's , radios.

Probably not the best idea. You could run the 12v unit off the connectors on one battery but that imbalance could shorten the life of the two batteries since they won't automatically balance. Best options - get a separate 12 volt battery for the inverter, or the company makes a 24 volt inverter. I've been very happt so far with the 12 volt model. It powers the coffee brewer and microwave oven in my RV just fine. Jim

I don't know. I don't have such an inverter. I seriously doubt that the battery would produce many watts for very long anyway.

Depends on the size of your battery string. I have four deep cycle batteries and it would run it for a bit. When running the inverter I have plenty of power to run most everything. Including 120 and 12 volt loads.

The switch will work fine for the generator battery - it will actually be overkill in that application. The switch intended application carries the full current of a marine battery to a large starter motor - which is over 100 amps ....and up to the full 500 cold cranking amp capability of a marine battery.

I am not sure but you can try on thing I knoun there are batterie for this inverter

This is a good solar panel. I have 2 batteries connected parallel, + to +, and - to -. This gives me the same voltage- 12 volts. I run my garage door opener and some accessories in my garage off a power inverter. The Ramsond solar charge regulator shuts off when batteries are full. Like T.J. said, make sure you aim the panel for best results, and hopefully its not foggy where you keep your boat!

Michelle your would have to look at the watts on the AC unit. ? And I could give u better answer This inverter is really a great unit but keep in mind battery. I tested it out and run a portable ac for 5 minutes on 1 fully charge battery. It worked great. My battery bank at the moment has 4 batterys links to solar panels AC unit would upto 30 minutes on what I have. Hope that helps you Inverter great. But you need a lot of batteries to run power drain units like AC Units

Yes, I bought it originally because of my battery bank is also 24 Volt. This is ok. But I cant actually recommend this device. I bought it not only for inverter-function but also for charging and bypassing when generator comes into game. The last two, charging and bypassing, did never work out. I don't know if I got it already defect by bad luck or if it is just low quality.

Sorry for the Vagueness, I'm talking about using an inverter hooked to my car battery to power small appliances in my tear drop camper
