Checking out the ALFFAA 1500 watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Rob ya done raided the ladies bathroom on this one!! Great vid as always bro!

Look forward to the Lithium Battery tests with this.

[@TinkerbatTech]

One thing I noticed first off. Many people don't realize that you need serious cabling for a larger 12V inverter. You, with the car audio background, already know that and give it the best chance to work properly. (Doesn't help that a lot of the budget inverters out there ship with joke cables.) The comment about sine VS 'modified' sine inverters is way true. I have done various versions of a "most of the house' battery backup system. My first one was several golf cart batts in a 12V 600AH config, with a small quality modified sine computer UPS (all the LED lights and electronics) and a monster 3000W+ sine inverter that would only run when the refer wanted to cycle. Worked ok, tho the LED lights dimmed oddly.. Went to a 36V Li-ion 'scooter battery' powered setup for better run time and no messy batteries. (Cont.)

The recycled batts were real cheap, but 36V stuff is kinda rare. I tried a couple of computer UPSes that were 36V. The first one turned out to be a modified sine. Did not know that. I've expanded the house UPS wiring and had the CPAP and electric blanket on UPS power. Turns out most electronic electric blankets don't like modified. Smoke happened. Checked the UPS waveform.. Grrrr. Found a different, more professional brand UPS, pure sine, it's out there now. I often, now, don't even know the power's dropped until I noticed that the mini-split has stopped. Gotta watch those modified sine units. i even have a little inverter here that claimed to be 'pure sine'. Not even close! Put it on the 'scope... Square as the day is long. BTW, some of the best loads for battery torturing are little space heaters. Couple power settings, easy loads, and can run for awhile... Enjoy your testing! Stu the power mad batty!

@@TinkerbatTech I’ll definitely hooked up a space heater and check it out. I have a big heat gun that I also planned on for future testing. I think it’ll be a good addition to the test kit

[@davidkoslek9372]

Been thinking about getting one of these for my camper. Liking the voltage display

[@HifiVega]

I think it’s a good idea to have if you already have any kind of battery back up situation

[@ehrenkrause9861]

I have a go power 1500, wanted the 2000 but the 1500 was a better price at that time paid just under 600 the 2thou was north of 900. I got mine so I can run skill saws and table saws

[@kswis]

When it doesn't show any amperage being pulled on the display you could always use an amp clamp on the 12v wires. My addiction began with dumping a bunch of lithium in the daily, ended up with more than I really needed in the car n truck so I started building an offgrid/backup system. N 4 guage wires are prob fine on 1.5kw. I run 1/0 on my two 5kw inverters. The best amd cheapest way I've found to load the inverters down is space heaters. They pull constant amperage and a lot of it. Well done video take care brotha

[@HifiVega]

Great idea!

[@jamesfalvey77]

Would of been nice to see the wave form under load

[@edud8452]

We use inverters in our service trucks when were out in the boonies🤣Plug a couple of microwave ovens into it thats a good test.

[@i_chido_corp9631]

Does come with cigarette lighter connection?

[@AshyLarryTM]

That’s a pretty cool style heat gun. Who makes it and is it reliable?

[@HifiVega]

Tacklife and it’s been great for heatshrink

[@bobbybyrkett7751]

Rob future test with it maybe a microwave they pull a lot

[@craigengelman4534]

you are drawing 3.0 amps not 30 the read out is 00.0 not 000 . you may what to fix that

[@HifiVega]

3.0 amps 120v 30 amps 12v

[@craigengelman4534]

@@HifiVega when it comes to those things i get renogy . ive had my 3500W 48V pure sine wave for 3 years with 8 renogy 200ah agm batterys on 20 195watt solar panels .

[@thenewguybas]

You're reading the amperage read put wrong. Look where the dot is.
