Thanks, DrewE. Glad to know the 9280 can do 1000 watts -- I couldn't find that on the PD website and was thinking I was going to have to call them.
The 9280 is nominally rated for 80A output. PD sometimes seems to be a bit optimistic about that, so maybe 70A would be a more reasonable guess for continuous output current.
70A * 13.2V = 924W
They do specify that the full load output voltage is > 12.6V.
80a * 12.6V = 1008 W
Whichever, the 9280 can supply somewhere in the vicinity of 1000 watts. Your average total load should be lower than this assuming you want to have the battery charge when plugged in. The instantaneous load can be higher because the battery will supply the excess, just not forever. At any rate, 500W is very well within its capabilities.
