About products and suppliers

A 12-volt inverter needs a power source to provide uninterrupted AC current as an electrical backup in your home or vehicle. A battery-powered inverter can be a dependable inverter for home use when the power grid is down. A home inverter battery allows an inverter to provide AC current for a longer duration of time during storms and other emergencies. A rechargeable 12-volt inverter is a portable power station.

What is the Difference between a Power Inverter Battery and Car Battery?

A car battery is designed to power a vehicle, and a battery-powered inverter is designed to convert DC electricity to AC power. A power inverter battery and an automotive battery are designed differently. Car batteries have thin plates for reaction with an electrolyte to produce a high amount of electrical current quickly. An inverter battery has fewer and thinner plates and a greater volume of electrolyte to provide a slower production of electrical current over a longer period. A power inverter battery will not drain as quickly as an auto battery will when an inverter is used.

How Long Will an Inverter Battery Provide Electricity?

While a 12-volt inverter can run for about 30 minutes to an hour with an automotive battery, a inverter battery backupcan work for hours. A solar inverter battery with a rechargeable lithium ion battery can usually last through about 6,000 cycles, providing AC power reliably for your home or on the road.

How Much Does a Power Inverter Battery Cost?

An inverter battery price varies depending on a number of factors including durability, length of charge and whether extras such as inverter battery cables come with the inverter battery pack. An inverter battery price can start at about $200 to more than $1,500. Extra batteries and equipment can also increase the price. A used 12-volt inverter will be less expensive than buying new but may not be as advanced.
