This Phoenix inverter runs from a 24 V battery, accepting 18.4 to 34 V DC, and feeds a NEMA 5-15R outlet. It is rated for 650 W continuous at 25°C and 560 W at 40°C, with an 800 VA rating on nonlinear loads and a 1,500 W peak. Idle draw is 7 W, or 1.5 W in the adjustable ECO mode. It weighs 5.5 kg and has a VE.Direct port for communication.
Our take
The 1,500 W peak on this 24 V Phoenix covers short surges well above its 650 W continuous rating. Its 7 W zero-load draw is the cost of keeping it powered up, and the adjustable ECO mode lowers that to 1.5 W.
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.
