Power Bright APS300-12 Pure Sine Power Inverter 300 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC

Power Bright APS300-12 Pure Sine Power Inverter 300 Watt 12 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC. This actually states 115vAC on the label. Anyway, I bought it to run my computers and monitors off since they run more efficiently on 110v than 220v. I got two 6 volt 200AH deep cycle "Hoppecke" batteries and they supply enough power for around 11 hours running at an average 110 Watts (yes Watts, not volts) with the series-connected battery voltage falling to just under 11 volts. So far I'm very happy with it. The fan makes a low level purring noise but not too noisy. Time will tell whether it's reliable.

October 4, 2011 It lasted exactly a year! Last night it failed and smoke poured out of the inverter. The LED flickered red/green. I switched it off immediately. I was able to repair it myself and I have put instructions on a web site. (You'll have to search.)

I was initially very happy with this inverter. It worked very well when it was working. Now the green led stays lit up but there is no power coming out of the socket. What to do now.

While this item initially worked as expected, I noticed it would overload trip on a while powering on a moderately small audio amplifier. I didn't think much of that at the time, but it was an indication of things to come.

During tests before I traveled I ran at loads up to approximately 120 watts and the inverter worked just fine. It never even got warm enough to turn on the cooling fan.

While camping at an NHRA event the unit failed with no warning while running only 24 watts of LED lighting. There were perhaps 20 hours total of running time on it.

As an engineer, I would say a failure at less than 10% load is an indicator of either poor design or poor quality control.

This is a don't touch item.

After a miserable failure with the Wagan EL2201 Elite 400 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter, I decided to try this unit.

SUCCESS!

Clean output, very solid construction, fan didn't even come on under moderate loads. Great for sensitive electronics. If you're looking at this inverter because it meets your needs, do not hesitate to purchase as you will not be disappointed.

*Please note* The unit that I received was not yellow, but blue. Didn't bother me at all. In fact, I kinda like the blue color better.

If I had one complaint about this unit, it would be that the 12v lighter cord that comes with the unit is a little short (approximately 18"). The quality of this unit when compared to its competition pretty much makes that gripe a moot point IMO.

One of the capacitor smoked after 5 times of use. Bought it three-month ago. Barely used. Only plugged in a 65 w laptop. Deeply disappointed.
