4 FAQs about 12v20a inverter time

How long will a 12V battery last with an inverter?

As a simple rule, to calculate how long a 12v deep-cycle battery will last with an inverter multiply battery amp-hours (Ah) by 12 to find watt-hours, and divide by the load watts to find run time hours. Finally, multiply run time hours by 95% to account for inverter losses. Introduction to Solar Power Battery Inverters – What Do Inverters Do?

How do you calculate inverter usage time?

To calculate the usage time of an inverter, multiply the battery capacity by 12 (to convert Ah to Wh assuming a 12V battery), then multiply by the inverter efficiency, and finally divide by the load power. What is Inverter Usage Time? Inverter usage time refers to the duration an inverter can supply power to a load before the battery is depleted.

How does a 12V to 120V inverter work?

Dave Orton on the Sprinter Forum pioneered the use of a 12v to 120v inverter to take 12v power from the running engine and turn it into 120v, then send that 120v power to wherever the house battery is placed. The 120v runs a charger (or runs through an inverter) to recharge the house battery. Why would you do this? The inefficiencies are crazy.

Is it normal if my inverter is set at 20A?

Check on the back of the inverter to what charge setting the inverter is set to. There is a 10A and 20A setting. It would appear that your inverter is set at the 20A setting. Yes it's normal. There has been numerous discussions here about it, Check on the back of the inverter to what charge setting the inverter is set to.
