Which KickAss Inverter is Right for Your Setup?

Not sure which KickAss inverter to choose? Let’s explore the capabilities of our 1000W and 2000W Pure Sine Wave Inverters to help you find the perfect match for your power needs.

KickAss 12V-240V Pure Sine Wave 1000W Inverter

The 1000W inverter is an excellent choice for handling essential devices without putting too much strain on your system. It’s ideal for lower-wattage equipment like laptop chargers, CPAP machines, and power tool battery chargers. With its 200% surge capacity, this inverter can handle up to 2000W for short bursts of up to two seconds, which is perfect for appliances that have a high inrush current on startup. The pure sine wave output ensures a consistent and clean power supply, which is especially important for sensitive electronics like laptops and medical devices. Unlike many other inverters that use modified sine wave power, which can be rough on your equipment, the 1000W inverter provides reliable, smooth power for everyday use.

Why Pure Sine Wave is Important

Every KickAss inverter provides a pure sine wave output, essential for safely powering sensitive electronics. Unlike modified sine wave inverters that can create a rough, inconsistent power supply, pure sine wave inverters deliver a steady, smooth flow of electricity. This not only protects your devices but also helps them operate more efficiently—especially crucial when you're off the grid.

Whether you’re a casual camper or a seasoned overlander, KickAss has the perfect inverter for you. Explore our full range today and get ready to power your next adventure.

FAQ: Which KickAss Inverter is Right for Your Setup?

How do I know what size inverter to use?

To choose the right inverter size, start by determining the power requirements of the devices you plan to use. Check the wattage ratings on each device or appliance and add them together to calculate the total power draw. Your inverter’s rated power should be higher than this total. For example, if you’re running a fridge, TV, and a few lights with a combined power draw of 900W, a 1000W inverter would be suitable. It’s also important to consider the peak power rating, which accounts for brief power surges that occur when devices like fridges or compressors start up.

Will a 120Ah battery run a 2000W inverter?

A 120Ah battery can technically power a 2000W inverter, but it depends on what you’re running and how long you need it to last. A 2000W inverter draws roughly 167 amps from a 12V battery at full load. With a 120Ah battery, you would get about 40 minutes of runtime at maximum output before the battery is depleted. However, operating a battery at such high discharge rates can shorten its lifespan, so it’s advisable to use a battery bank or a larger capacity battery for more reliable performance.

How long will a 100Ah battery last with a 2000W inverter?

A 100Ah battery running a 2000W inverter at full capacity would last approximately 30-35 minutes. The inverter draws around 167 amps, so your battery would be depleted in under an hour. However, it’s uncommon to run an inverter at full load continuously in real-world situations. Additionally, to extend the battery's life, it’s recommended to only discharge it to about 50%, which means you might get just 15-20 minutes of runtime at 2000W before needing to recharge or power down your devices.
