Interesting to see that CPC advertise some of their 12V input, 230V
output inverters as a means to 'charge batteries ... in case of a power blackout.' Bill |

A *lot* of inverters intended for use with solar panels also have battery chargers built in so they are a 'one box' solution to supply power. Just add solar panels at one end and a big battery at the other end and you have mains power all the time (assuming there's enough bright days of course). Not sure if the CPC ones are actually both inverters and chargers but I can see how the description could easily get copied from one to another to cause the error (if it is an error). -- Chris Green · |

Somebody does not know their inputs from their outputs.
I think the advertising copy writers should be invited to place their tongues on the output and input terminals so they can appreciate the concept.

They are ordinary cheap as chips ones badged as Mercury. but I can see how the description could easily get copied from one to another to cause the error (if it is an error). It happens. One site I looked at had copied the blurb about true sine inverters and inserted it as a continuation to the blurb about each and every modified sine item. Bill |

It's a bit like price errors though isn't it, you never get true sine inverters shown as modified sine, it's always the other way around! I've been looking for a true sine inverter of around 1000 watts for some time now and it's amazing how many there are out there incorrecly described. Often the heading says 'true sine .....' but down in the specification it says modified sine wave. -- Chris Green · |

Which of course are used for far more than just talking to the base station (which will also be off!) Andy |
