Can't Use The Microwave, Toaster, Coffeemaker, Arc Welder?

Hi Mex,

Sure, no problem. Just get a dc to AC converter and boost the voltage to 60 k. Then, at the other end of the 32 feet, put in a transformer to get it back down to 12 volts and an AC to DC converter, then connect the inverter up to that.

Awwwright!

I want to mount that inverter sixteen feet away from the batteries. 32' of cable. To power my Maytag electric clothes dryer. Wot size cable do I use. Oh I fergot l also need a circuit breaker. But does this thing rrally use 22-amps of idle current? How do I fit the cherry-picker through the rig's door?

that powermax is interesting, could make my own hybrid inverter system without having to swap my Magnum for a Magnum Hybrid.

Not sure what is meant there. I have had a PowerMax 100amper and a 2000w inverter mounted together for four years now, but I have not used the charger to support the inverter.

I have done PT's trick when on 15a shore power, to put the MW, etc on the inverter and just plug the rig with its Parallax 7355 converter into the shore power. That keeps the big 120v things- only run occasionally- from popping any breakers while the converter gets the batteries back up afterwards in between when the big things are on.

BTW, since that older PM3 (which can be found at a lower price than that at times) PowerMax now has PM4s and Randy at bestconverters has his own version of those he calls Boondockers. There is also a manually adjustable voltage version.

That's pretty much it... instead of swapping my MS2812 for an MSH3012... I could add the powermax directly to the batteries, and power it directly from a yamaha 2000. this way the RV stays on the inverter, and I can run loads too big for the single yammy to handle. cyclic loads such as dehumidifier or air conditioner don't draw 15 amps continuously, so once the battery bank starts the load, the generator should be able to carry it.

Wottabout when those freed electrons start dislodging neutrons? Ever see a shunt with 3/4" bolts?

For the 16kw surge you may want those batteries at about 100' when they melt.

Hi 2oldman,

8000 /12 = 666 amps

666 amps / 7 batteries = 95 amps per post.

The English on the Ebay site is a hoot. I don't think batteries have big enough posts to support 8kw@12v.

I would like to see the motorcycle battery that can support an 8kw inverter.

Well, I have seen some BIG motorcycles, in fact the specified battery for starting some of them is a Group 78 (roughly the same as a group 24) and depending on the start up activities of that 8KW inverter the group 24/78 should support it, no load, or under load for about as long as it takes to blink.

Oh, what would I want with an 8KW inverter.. oh, how about 8 pairs of GC2, or 8 4D's or 8 8Ds or somethign like that..

Folks that's roughly 1,000 pounds of battery.. Wait a minute, that is in excess of the CCC on this motor home.

Mex,

Hmmm ..... that Temperature Protection spec is a little narrow ..... even for use in Central California. It would never do for use in Mexico.
