If it weighs 2 lbs for 100 watts it's a low frequency inverter. Million dollar high frequency inverters work great. Each thyristor costa 13,000 dollars.
I haven't heard before this about HF and LF inverters. Makes sense they would exist, but I didn't know enough to separate the hype from facts.
I'm still looking for a 2k-3k PSW inverter. Considering it an investment to run our computers in June and now our microwave at rest areas. I'll add another pair of GC2 batteries (either 2 or 4 total) if necessary.
It's a big camper and a big investment/effort for us. May as well get it setup to meet our needs as much as possible.
Thanks for steering me right on the LF inverter stuff, guys ;)
