The Ampeak 1200W Pure Sine Wave Inverter enables true independence from the grid, whether you want to power electronics and appliances while car camping, prepare for emergencies with a backup inverter, or DIY an on-the-go solar power generation kit. Ampeak combines versatility and great performance value with safety and reliability, making this 1200W pure sine wave power inverter a prime choice for a variety of portable off-grid needs.
Three AC ports and two 2.4A USB ports on the side of the 1200W inverter provide convenient access to enough direct outlets for most usage scenarios, meaning you won’t likely need a power strip to accommodate more plugs. Its clean, steady, and smooth output results in a great performance for restive loads like TVs, electric cookers and grills, LED lights, and coffee machines; the 12V inverter also comfortably handles appliances with inductive loads like electric fans, mini-fridges, and vacuum cleaners. If you find your camping appliance or emergency backup power requirements exceeding 1200W, our 2000W power inverter has only slightly larger dimensions and still works great as an inobtrusive vehicle accessory that can easily be tucked away in your car, truck, van, RV, or boat.
To guarantee that our pure sine wave inverters provide steady, uninterrupted electricity that avoids damaging even the most sensitive electronics and also offers protection for the operator, our R&D team has implemented 17 innovative safety measures. Some of the major safety mechanisms that distinguish Ampeak products include an advanced MCU chip that prevents sparks through automatic circuit control, quiet dual fans for quick heat dissipation, and an internal design that isolates inputs and outputs to protect the circuitry. Among a host of other safety features is one that even protects your car battery when it is connected to the inverter by giving you warning beeps, then automatically shutting itself off if your battery voltage drops too low.
In real practice, ease of operation is also important for safety. The large LCD on the top of Ampeak inverters makes it simple to monitor status indicators such as input voltage, output voltage, output wattage, output current, internal temperature, and battery level. The large screen from which accurate metrics can be read in real-time demonstrates the tremendous value Ampeak products provide, as no products in the price range offer the same quality for these features. Another great usability feature is the support for operating the inverter by remote control (sold separately), for example from the interior of an RV while the power inverter is stowed underneath in the utility bay.
Unfortunately, it seems energy crises will contribute to an already increasing number of blackouts, which have already gone up by 60% since 2015 due to factors like extreme weather events. A pure sine wave inverter that converts low-voltage DC to AC electricity is the best substitute for grid power during a blackout, making inverters an essential part of an emergency toolkit. Ampeak’s focus on quality means the 1200W inverter can be relied upon for clean, steady power that ensures your electronics and appliances will not suddenly die on you in the event of an emergency.
With a design that packs so many safety and performance aspects into a compact chassis, the Ampeak 1200W Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an ideal component for a portable solar generator kit. DIY resources for solar inverter setups often call for solar panels to be hooked up to a 12V deep cycle battery along with a power inverter. In addition to the sense of accomplishment, you’re likely to feel from completing a DIY project that gives you actual independence from the power grid, having your own on-the-go solar power will ease the burden of energy costs and also give you the satisfaction of knowing you reduced your carbon footprint. What’s good for the environment is also good for you – solar panels don’t emit fumes and are both easier to maintain and safer to operate than gas generators.
Because car batteries are generally not powerful enough to function as a power source for appliances such as microwaves, solar generation setups tend to be a much more viable solution for off-grid needs. The sun is available anywhere you go, and energy harnessed during the day can be used at night. If you have an RV for example, you can hook roof-mounted solar panels up to a deep cycle battery and simultaneously charge your battery while using available power to run appliances like lights, displays, and coffee makers. Around the home, an inverter can turn a shed in the back of your yard that is not connected to the power grid into a solar-powered workshop. The red and black positive and negative cables that come with Ampeak inverters can be used to connect to a deep cycle battery, but be sure to always connect positive cables first.
If you encounter any problems while using Ampeak inverters that you are not able to solve using the instruction booklet that comes with the product, our customer service is available to help you troubleshoot. Ampeak inverters on Amazon come with an unrivaled 18-month warranty with a hassle-free return policy as part of our dedication to ensuring your satisfaction with our product’s performance. Ampeak is constantly trying to improve industry-best safety practices, and, in response to feedback given on the 1200W inverter released last month, our R&D team has acted swiftly to implement new product improvements. Pictured below are new modifications, including silent fans, new screw slots for more secure mounting, an MCU update enhancing the accuracy of metrics on the display, and a wrench provided with the product.
A car camping essential, the Ampeak 1200W Pure Sine Wave Inverter makes your idealized van life possible with its minimalist design and all-round robust performance, allowing you to claim total independence from the grid without chafing your vehicle space thanks to its low profile. From turning it into a solar inverter to using it to connect to the Starlink satellite network while camping, the possibilities for using it to power your journeys are endless.
