December 10, 20223 yr Looking for a alternative to the normal AGM/LA 12V battery that can work with a 12V inverter. Brands I have been researching: Hubble S-200 Revov 12V 200Ah Mecer 12V 200Ah Any experience and other recommendations

Both doing well but in use I feel the S-100's can provide more current for starting fridges. Just my feeling based on voltage sag difference between the 2.
December 11, 20223 yr Author Thanks What inverter would you then recommend to use for a small fridge,small tv and one light?

The 1.2kW Axpert with a 2x short term capacity will work. I have heard that the 0.8kW Victron does work but that's about the only below 1kW that I know of. Years ago I had a 0.6kW brick inverter that worked sometimes. The Changi/Topshak in 3kW labelled that is a 1.5kW full time rating works very well. That is the one I used as indicated in the other topic. It can start any fridge no matter if it is a large fridge. Another major plus is this inverter has no fan running below 300W load and also has a display that shows AC and DC volts and Watts to the load. The last year these inverters went up a lot in price that without having a charger makes them expensive compared to say the 1.2kW Axpert that includes a charger as well as PV input.
