Inverter Question
Have a pretty simple inverter question. Say you have the same 4 devices connected to a power strip. The power strip is connected to an inverter of X size.
Would a 2000 watt and 3000 watt inverter draw the same amount of current from the batteries? I would imagine the draw would be the same because the load is the same, but does the 3000 watt unit draw more power because it is a larger unit? Remember, the exact same devices are connected to either inverter.
Saving up to get an inverter/charger installed properly, but I need a temporary fix that can be used for a couple months. Wanting to get a larger inverter to use in some other application down the road, but not at the expense of unnecessary extra battery drain.
Current battery setup is 2 x group 24 RV Deep Cycle batteries (24DC-550) from Les Schwab. Plan on swapping them out for a couple lithium ion batteries when I get the inverter/charger installed. Have a "Solar On The Side" connection ready for a briefcase solar panel for charging in between generator runs.
Thank you - Greg
