Under full load (600 watts), voltage drops to 115.8 volts. Pretty good voltage regulation IMO. Under full load (600 watts) input voltage drops to 11.85 volts (measured at the battery; 12.75 vdc with no-load).
Hi,
You need to check the output voltage when it is not under load. I had a similar Chinese product and it was 172 volts. I really wish you had started a thread about the product you intended to purchase. Too late for that now.
FWIW, I did mention this specific inverter when I started this thread. No one seemed to have any specific pros or cons about it. As for it being "too late", actually it's not. I purchased this from Amazon and still have some time to return it. However, at this point and time I see no reason to. I've had this inverter under max load numerous times and it shows no signs of instability. IMO, one of the best indicators that a product will perform satisfactorily in a real-world environment is reflected by consumer experiences and feedback. Amazon consumer reviews on this model are very, very good.
