Technical FAQs 4

Do I need a 12V inverter?

To do this, you need to connect an inverter to the battery bank. It is important to match the battery bank voltage with an inverter that can handle that same voltage. Simply put, if you have a 12V system, you need a 12V inverter; a 48V system requires a 48V inverter. Standard Pure Sine Wave inverters simply change DC power to AC power.

What is a 6V to 12V converter (inverter)?

The PGPI is a 6V to 12V converter for vehicles that still have a 6V, positive ground electrical system. It is necessary if you are still running positive ground for all of our radios, which run on a 12V, negative ground electrical system. The PGPI positive ground inverter comes with detailed wiring instructions.

How does a 12V to 120V inverter work?

Dave Orton on the Sprinter Forum pioneered the use of a 12v to 120v inverter to take 12v power from the running engine and turn it into 120v, then send that 120v power to wherever the house battery is placed. The 120v runs a charger (or runs through an inverter) to recharge the house battery. Why would you do this? The inefficiencies are crazy.

What are the disadvantages of a 12 volt inverter?

The disadvantage is that the 12 V inverter will draw 5 times the current a 60 V inverter draws for the same output power. This current needs to be supplied by the step-down converter. This will also incur additional losses in the step-down converter. I'd swap the 12 V inverter for a 60 V inverter. I had a hunch. I'll make the swap.
