If the inverter was 100% efficient, it would be 250 amps at 12volts, allowing for inefficiencies more like 300 amps at 12 volts. |

I know, I've done the sums, but an inverter is what I need:-) Do you know of the best manufacturers in the UK? -- Adrian Smith www.YourStadium.com Superb aerial pictures of UK football stadiums. |

Victron do good quality inverters as well as combined inverter chargers.
Expect to pay about £1200 minimum for a top quality make. Peter |

Not UK manufactured, but a friend had a Vetus combined Inverter Charger (When conected to shore power or the generator recharges the batteries), don't know the model. He's a liveaboard on a swinging mooring and it's never given him any trouble. |

I have not tried it on more sensitive equiptment like tv and audio equiptment yet. Eurobatteries seemed to be very helpfull and professional as well. -- Adrian Smith www.YourStadium.com Superb aerial pictures of UK football stadiums. |
