This Victron inverter runs from a 12 V battery, accepting 9.2 to 17 V DC, and feeds a NEMA 5-15R outlet. It is rated at 300 W continuous at 25°C and 260 W at 40°C, with a 375 VA rating on nonlinear loads and a 700 W peak. Idle draw is 5.6 W, falling to 0.9 W in the adjustable ECO mode. It weighs 3 kg and has a VE.Direct port.
Our take
The 0.9 W ECO-mode idle draw is low enough that this 12 V inverter can sit ready without noticeably taxing a battery. Continuous output drops from 300 W to 260 W at 40°C, so a hot engine space costs you some headroom.
From our buying guide
On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.
Check before you buy:
- It can follow your battery's profile, since not every charger can follow a lithium maker's.
- On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
