    Kings brand is generally aroujd the $299 for 3000w with good reviews

    • Hows the quality of this compare to kings?

      • Unsure. But i know there its certainly numerous positive reviews for kings and widely used in 4x4 area. Again unsure on comparison

        I had a 1500w Kings inverter in the past, and like most of the stuff I've bought from there, it didn't even last a year. I've had 2 x cheap 2200w Giandel inverters from eBay that have run continuously for nearly two years now with no drama. The only modification I've made to them is upgrading to much larger cabling as what's included isn't sufficient for large power draw (same with the Kings inverter).

        Keep in mind also that if you are drawing 3000w that is a lot of amps at 12v and with losses you may find that you are drawing around 300amps from your batteries. I'd be looking at getting good quality 2/0 gauge wire minimum and keeping the distances as short as possible. You'll also need high amperage bus bars, shunts, fuses, etc to handle that kind of load. You also need to ensure your battery bank is rated to output that much power continuously. Honestly, it all starts getting a bit impractical and if you feel you need a 3000w inverter, I strongly suggest switching to a 48v setup (1/4 of the amperage draw) or at least 24v.

  • how many cars and car batteries can safely output 165 Amps? I would think about 30A is max.
