How many amps does my inverter provide
If I have a Zamp ZP-300PS or a P-600PS pure sign wave inverter, how many amps does it put out at 120 volts? Am I calculating correctly at 300w \ 120 v = 2.5 amps AC? If I use a 600W inverter th...

Keep in mind in order for your 12VDC Power Inverter to produce the 120VAC@2.5 AMPS it will want to draw around 25AMPS DC from your 12VDC Battery setup...
This is not measuring for any deficiencies
It takes a lot of 12VDC battery current to operate the Power Inverters...
If you only one 12VDC Battery ON-LINE do not expect it to perform very long powering a 25AMP 12VDC load... To keep from doing internal damage to my batteries internally I will not let the Battery get discharged below its approximate 50% charge state which will around 12.0VDC reading on a DC VOLTMETER... When my batteries get down to this level it takes me around three hours of generator run time to get them back up to their 90% charge rate so I can do this all over again the next day/night run off the batteries.
