Has anyone ever used a power RV inverter to run this pad? Any issues?

I'm in a Motorhome using an inverter, now mine is a pure sine wave model so it's clean AC and have had no issues. If your Inver doesn't produce a clean AC you might damage the control

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

Depends on the size of your battery string. I have four deep cycle batteries and it would run it for a bit. When running the inverter I have plenty of power to run most everything. Including 120 and 12 volt loads.

Hi Edward,This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

I have not noticed a problem with the charge controller. Inverters WILL generate hash, but only in a few places. I have noticed it in the 40-meter ham band.

Hi ThereI run the inverter off of a 27D size 12 volt battery on my boat that is charged from a 120 amp alternator off of the motor.

I have this inverter, and my understanding is that it is pure sine wave. I use it to power my entire vacation house on a Caribbean island with no troubles, save for the fact that the vacuum cannot run at the same time as anything else.

Not at all, you want to go to set up a reset all settings to manufactures setting. I have had to do this twice when I was settings for my RV turned something off. After resetting all worked good again. Hope I helped.

I charge 2 6v lead-acid batteries (in series) with it for RV - have had no trouble. This link gives the various charge rates and protections. Not sure how the controller would handle 1 bad battery of 3 wired parallel. http://www.directdepot.net/manuals/Go_Power_MAN_GP-PSK_80.pdf

I use it to run a dog bed heating pad in my car for my dog while I'm at work. Runs 8 - 10 hours a day. Absolutely no problem. Is not a sine wave inverter, so it may not work on a notebook.

I couldn't say, but I'd avoid this pad like the plague. Even if it's the correct voltage chances are it won't work. I went through 2, the first never worked, the second only worked for 2 days. It isn't worth the trouble you're likely to go through to find a working one. You will be wasting your money.

something to consider, while I have never pushed the limits of this inverter, it is rated for peak performance of 1600 watts. If you only have the drill running for short periods of time and your battery can handle the drain there should be no problem. I would recommend leaving the vehicle running unless you have a battery that's quite large and make sure the vents on the inverter aren't blocked and it's in a relatively cool environment... If that drill is going to be running 1 minute out of every 10 I think this'll do you fine, much more than that and youll start to see heat buildup faster than it can be cooled. something to consider, while I have never pushed the limits of this inverter, it is rated for peak performance of 1600 watts.

I have only used the twelve volt system in my vehicle. Since I posted issues with my inverter, I took a two day trip. The inverter worked great the whole time. I have complete confidence in it now.

My setup is similar. I use an inverter on one side and my generator on the other. When my batteries die then i start my generator and wait like 20 seconds and it transfers. No doubt it'll work!

yes it wiil , it's a good inverter I have all kinds of eletronces hooked to it . the only thing I had to do is add a onther battery , every 6 mounth was replacing the altnator on the truck , good now

I used the terminal blocks off the old inverter that I was replacing . You should be able to purchase grounding lugs with 2/0 connections and 1/4" or 5/16" size holes to convert over. I am very happy with the inverter. It is able to do what it says. Just got back from my camp over the weekend that is off grid, just solar 12V. My friends wife ran a blender to make a drink while we had all are lights and a tv with a dish setup all at once. We wanted to see if it would all run and it did . Had others that do not come close. Good luck
