I want to run this off a 24v battery bank on the input and into a 12v DC to AC power inverter. Am I missing something or will this work as I intend?

Should work.But i suggest to find 24v DC - AC inverter and hook it directly to your batteries. Converting from 24V to 12V and then to AC voltage is not efficient at all.
1939723
No this wont work effectively. You should size the voltage on your battery bank to the voltage of your inverter. Ie; 24v battery bank and a 24v inverter. This component is only used to step the voltage down from 24v to 12v for a load. Ie; 24v battery bank and inverter with the transformer stepping down the voltage to power 12v lights (or any other12v load).

it will but wiith a light load only! Remember it"s max amp output is only 20 Amp, so in perspective most tablets require 2.0+ amps @ 12or24 volts. Just get this and not worry.Power Bright ML400-24 400 Watt 24 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC Power Inverter

The intended purpose of this device is to directly feed the power off the solar panel to this inverter with its 120 vacpower to the grid. If for any reason you come off the battery the voltage to the inverter must be at leastthe minimjm dc input voltage of the inverter, usually around 24 vdc. All in all I dont see the inverter workingoff the 12 volt battery.

Probably not the best idea. You could run the 12v unit off the connectors on one battery but that imbalance could shorten the life of the two batteries since they won't automatically balance. Best options - get a separate 12 volt battery for the inverter, or the company makes a 24 volt inverter. I've been very happt so far with the 12 volt model. It powers the coffee brewer and microwave oven in my RV just fine. Jim

It is my understanding this unit can work for both a 12 v and 24 v system. I think that you might be confusing the one with the other. On one side you have the system charging via the pv modules there is a max input voltage of 100 volts . And on the other end you have your voltage bank. This unit supports a 12v, 24v, and 32 volts bank. The choice is yours. If I can be of help email me at Edgib@bellsouth.net.

No because I believe it is only 12V DC Input you would have to get a model APS2424, APSINT2424 or APSX3024SW which are made for 24V DC Input Power

You will need a deep cycle battery, or battery bank. 12 or 24 V will both work. You will need an inverter, best to get one rated for 2X the wattage you use. If you used 2.5kW get a 5kW inverter, these need to match your battery/bank in Voltage. 12V is cheaper for both batteries and inverters. However, you can just run two 12V in series to get 24V. 24V charges faster and uses less amps. Thus, is more efficient. Yes, this can be hooked directly to your breaker box. You may also want to get an inline fuse to go between the battery/bank and inverter. Inverter max watt/10. 2kW = 200 amp fuse.

Depends on the size of your battery string. I have four deep cycle batteries and it would run it for a bit. When running the inverter I have plenty of power to run most everything. Including 120 and 12 volt loads.

inverters put out 120 VAC. I'm not sure what you are asking, it you are trying to power a 19 volt or a 24 volt device you don't need an inverter as it will be way over-voltaged. The inverter converts 12 VDC to 120 VAC.

115-230 VAC is a selection, not a range. So if you select 115 VAC then you have selected the correct output for this inverter as it is a nominal 120 VAC inverter. With a range between 7.5 amps and 15 amps being drawn by the compressor, the inverter is just a bit shy of what you require. Another big problem will be the stoutness of the battery you are using. From a static 12 VDC source (stand alone battery), converting it to 120 VAC, drawing 15 amps, the power used would be 1,800 watts. That is a little past the rated 1,500 watts, but not beyond the momentary peak of 3,000 watts. From an active 14.5 VDC source (a 12 Volt battery driven by a alternator), converting it to 120 VAC and drawing 15 amps, the power used would be 1,740 watts. Again, that is a little past the rated 1,500 watts, but not beyond the momentary peak of 3,000 watts. But here is the catch, an AC inverter is never 100% efficient, so the calculations stated above are actually worse. Could be 20% off or more 'off' due to inefficiency. Technically, you could run your compressor for a few moments without damage to the inverter, but this inverter would not be the proper selection for your work load. I would select something in the 2,400 watt range for the continuous power required that you seek. This would give you 20 amps minus 20% inefficiency giving you 16 amps of reliable current. So 2,500 watts, with the ability to surge to 5,000 watts momentarily (allowing a 100% overage of current drawn on start up for the motor of the compressor) should fit your bill. All units will be very happy with each other (provided you have a robust battery, or battery bank). An "8D" battery would serve you well (but pretty heavy at 161 lbs each). Do not forget "voltage drop" that happens, and make sure you use HEAVY cables to the battery; perhaps 2/0 pure copper (not copper clad) cables. This will keep your input high. It is worth the expense (and you only buy them once).

The one I bought was already set up to run 24 volt. It's in the directions.

yes that is correct. If you connect two 12v batteries in series end result will be one battery bank of 24v. When charging batteries - use of a charge controller is highly recommended.

Do not hook up to 24 volts, it's For 12v to 13.5 dc volt . You can find good one inverter 24 volt @http://www.theinverterstore.com/2500-watt-power-inverter-24-volt.html

No, connect it to your 12v Battery that powers your invertor. I use this on mine it works amazing!

This is not a battery, so does need a 12v power source to convert DC power to AC. You could use a 12v lead acid cell to make it portable I guess but then it would be quite heavy and a messy solution. Why not just get a jump starter emergency power source which is all in one neat package. With battery and inverter to AC all in one neat package. How long it lasts will depend on what you are plugging into it. No hair dryers LOL.

Absolutely, if you wire up the appropriate 12V battery with the current capacity you need for the target runtime. It would be a relatively trivial hack to do if you want to, but is it designed to do so? No.

It's made to run off a computer power supply, but any 12V power supply should do.Rated Voltage: 12V DCStart Voltage: 8V DCOperating Range: 8V~13.8V DCRated Current: 0.2 Amp @ 60℃ / 0.08Amp @31℃Rated Power: 2.4W @60℃ / 0.96W @31℃
