Technical FAQs 4

What is a 150 watt inverter?

The "150-watt" specification indicates the maximum power output capacity of the inverter. In simpler terms, it means that the inverter can power a load of up to 150 watts.

How much inverter power can a car battery support?

There is a theoretical limit to the amount of inverter power that can be supported by an automotive battery. Theoretically, the maximum supported inverter power can be calculated by multiplying the battery capacity (Ah) by the battery voltage (V) multiplied by the discharge multiplier (C-rate).

How much battery does a 12 volt inverter need?

As a rule of thumb, the minimum required battery capacity for a 12-volt system is around 20 % of the inverter capacity. For 24-volt inverters, it is 10 %. The battery capacity for a 12-volt Mass Sine 12/1200, for instance, is 240 Ah, while a 24-volt Mass Sine 24/1500 inverter would require at least 150 Ah.

Can a 12 volt car battery support a high power inverter?

Typically, a 12-volt car battery can support an inverter with a power range of about 150 watts to 1500 watts. Please note, however, that car batteries are not suitable for driving high power inverters for extended periods of time, which may cause damage to the battery.
