We bought this Inverter to power up a couple of household appliances, but we're quite new to this and we're not sure what we need (besides batteries?)

A good mechanic?! Lol, we had ours installed at I our companies terminal. It works with our 700 watt microwave, but may trip the breaker if truck isn't running. Hope that pic of info helps some

Hi Edward,This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

just make sure you have enough batteries to support the startup draw of the appliances or your inverter will kick out for low voltage, even if your battery is fully charged. I would say at least 3-4 batteries at least for them three items, maybe more, depending on the size of the ac's and fridge

I could not tell you. I don't know what it is even used for. I got one when I purchased an inverter. No instructions to what it is used for

There are out there but they won't work. I can suggest to you if you have a car jumpstarter that has a 12 volt socket which is rated 200Watts and more, then you can use it inside the house. I tried four ac to dc inverters already but they won't work. Those jumpstarter range from 80 to more than a hundred dollars each. If you can find an inverter that will work with this please tell me.

Needs to be connected to a panel then plugs into a electrical outlet. This is designed to provide power to your home grid. You are thinking of a different type of inverter

The inverter takes in DC power and outputs AC Power. Batteries need DC power to charge so the inverter cannot charge batteries.

If you are hooking this up by itself you'll only want a charge controller to prevent the battery from overcharging. If you are using this to hook up an ac plug in battery charger, then you need the inverter for the charger.

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

This is an inverter, it converts DC to AC. It does not hold any charge in the unit itself.

Many steps are needed! Many videos on youtube show you proper set-ups. These put out DC voltage (2 wire) you'll need a DC Voltage controller. From the controller to Battery! If you want AC I go a differant rout. these don't really put out enough power to bother with an AC power inverter... hope this helps.Murf.

The batteries will probably handle it. The limiting factor will the the inverter's ability to handle the starting current surge when the compressor kicks in.

I can't even get mine to produce. The original inverter drained the batteries. What kind of inverter are you using?

hook the inverter to the battery bank. there is no way to run those kind of amps through the battery controller.

Depends on what you are going to use it for. If you are going to use your Setup for Emergency Lights, Battery Chargers, Small Appliances the Inverter you use will draw harder off of the battery the more devices you use. I use one 50 watt Solar Panel, Charge Controller, Inverter and two of these Deepcycle 35aH batteries for power outages, emergencies etc. A Small Solar Panel will just trickle charge the battery and you won't be able to use it for powering much before it drops down to the minimal low voltage. A 50 watt Solar Panel is probably a good starting point, then go from there as to what you need to meet your needs. Depends on what you are going to use it for.

Look at the watts your compressor consumes. It must be 1500 or less watt. This inverter only achieves 110-120 volts.It doesn´t work with appliances more than that. You need DC cables to conect to the battery.

I don't know. I don't have such an inverter. I seriously doubt that the battery would produce many watts for very long anyway.
