Renogy Inverter PUH, 2000W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter with UPS Transfer Switch & Bluetooth, 12V DC to 120V AC Converter for RV, Truck, Home,Camping - 4000W Surge Power, Remote Monitoring

Using it to power our hunt camp with an 8D battery. Runs our small fridge, lights, and charges phones/gps units for a week. The fan does run a fair bit, but it’s a sound you quickly tune out because every other space in our lives has the same electrical hum. I enjoy it and next time I’ll order one with a digital read out for voltage available/draw. After a year of use we’ve found a bit of a flaw. The LED lights on it have a minuscule draw, but that draw eventually depletes a battery no matter the size, so disconnect it or turn it completely off if not in use. Also, when you get to low voltage it begins to alarm, which rapidly depletes the battery. We had to leave camp a few days so left the inverter and battery tending the fridge, but came back to find the thing blaring an alarm and wasting what was left of the voltage. We had planned for a dead battery, but hadn’t expected the inverter to be part of what was going to kill it.

Update: I originally left a 1 star, not for the device, but more for the resale, I thought this second one was faulty, turns out one of my bus bars was faulty, this was TOTALLY MY FAULT (maybe the bus bar as well). Renogy got back with me even though this was a resale and informed me it’s not under warranty but still offered tips on what to do. I’m happy that this worked out because I really like this Renogy company and eco system. Looking forward to upgrades, future builds and all. I left the original review for context below I would say this is more of an Amazon resale review as this is the second unit I bought from resale that is DOA. This first one never worked, figured was just a bad unit, 2nd one sparked so hard it left a groove in my bat terminal and now won’t accept a charge from my charge controller. I don’t know what the process is on testing these with Amazon resale but they definitely were bad. I don’t know how Renogy would let you all re-sell bad units, looks bad on them

I *also* own a Renogy 2kw combined charger/inverter. That unit has an internal 30A transfer switch and is very fast to change over. HOWEVER, it has two serious issues: 1) The fan is on a LOT even when just charging lightly and 2) it has to be "on" to charge the battery bank. So this, plus a separate converter-charger, means (1) you move the plug from shore power to inverter when you need to. Or does it? Well, maybe not, if you are willing to run the same way. The reason is this: This unit is SILENT except when under pretty heavy load. So if you have a converter/charger that can deliver the amps you could turn this on whenever you have shore or generator power, the converter is on, and your plugged-in things are on this all the time. This is basically 15 amps of output (as is the 2kw all-in-one) but the transfer is manual -- other than none at all if you leave it on all the time when on shore or generator power. Is this viable? IMHO, yes, because the quiescent draw on this thing is only about 1 amp or roughly 12 watts. You can't leave it on ALL the time when there is no charge as obviously 1 amp will kill your pack BUT if you have a charge source 1 amp is not much -- and you silent operation except under heavy load. If your converter/charger fan is thermostatically controlled.... there you go. The biggest issue I have with all the integrated ones, whether Renogy, Victron or anyone else is noise level. This doesn't matter if the unit is not in inhabited space and far enough away that it doesn't matter, but if it IS in inhabited space then it really does matter quite a bit. No idea on reliability but it absolutely does put out the 120V, its sine-wave, and at least under light loads the fans never come on. Someone should figure out how to have ambient cooling except under heavy load and essentially be silent in something like the Victron MultiPlus (or equivalent Renogy) units, but until they do if noise is a factor separates win for that reason, along with charge being independent of the inverter being turned on.

Preface: I'm using this in a boat which is acceptable but not ideal. It has to do with the way the neutral and ground are connected. However, this is more of an issue with combo interval/charger units, and since this is strictly an inverter that gets turned off when we're finished with it, that makes it acceptable. Please consult a qualified marine electrician. Product evaluation: We are very happy with this inverter. The instructions are clear and it works as described. We have purposely purchased appliances that are lower wattage so that it can run 2-3 of them at once. As a test, I used it to heat a tank of water on the boat and it did the job. If the batteries dip below about 11.5 volts, it will keep working but start beeping. As you may know, flooded batteries (which we have) can drop down to 11.5 volts for a short period without harming them. Once the load is taken off, they generally "recover" to well over 12 volts. While the inverter comes with a wired remote on-off switch, we do not use it. As should always be installed, we have a rotary inverter power cut-off switch between the battery bank and the inverter. We simply leave the power switch on the inverter housing in the on position, then use the rotary switch to turn it on and off. We also installed a 250amp fuse between the battery and the rotory switch. Do not use the inverter without a proper fuse. The inverter comes with 2 battery cables but they were not adequate gauge for our application. There are tables online that will tell you for a given load and length of wire run what gauge you need. Do not gloss over these details. The wires being included could lead you to believe they are all that's needed to connect the inverter to the battery, but that would leave out the fuse and cut-off switch. We have now been using the inverter for a couple of months with zero issues. Because we have it installed where we can't easily see it, we like the short beep that it makes when we power it up. It gives a similar but longer beep when powered down. No negatives to report.

Worthless, tech support horrible, under warranty but will not replace/refund. Let me explain further… I purchased this inverter for an off-grid Solar charged battery bank to run my Starlink and wifi camera, along with a 7k btu window unit. This setup is located in the Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana (think the TV show “swamp people” that’s where this camp is) in the “middle of nowhere”. The battery bank consists of (8) 100ah 12v Flooded Lead Acid batteries wired in parallel for a useable 400ah bank. Batteries are wired together properly with 2/0 gauge jumpers and connected to the inverter with 3’ 2/0 gauge pure copper cables. Battery bank is charged/maintained by two Renogy charge controllers (1) 40amp MPPT with (4) 100w panels connected 2x2 (2-200watt strings). The second Renogy Charge controller is a 60amp MPPT with 3x1 240 watt solar panels. Plenty of power for what I want, and yes I know I could get more with a 24v system… but I went with Renogy 12v… big Mistake!! Everything worked fine for about two months. The Starlink was on, camera working, and I was able to turn the Wifi AC window unit on during the day to dehumidify the camp. Then one morning everything turned off, which required a trip down and 30 minute boat ride to investigate. The yellow GFCI light was on. So I wired the AC unit to the load terminals that supposedly provide more power, flipped the switch back to on, tested (and it worked) and returned home. Next day it happened again. So I called Amazon (who was the most helpful during this fiasco). Amazon directed me to Renogy because I was outside the 30 day return window. Renogy advised I needed to ground the inverter and use 4/0 wires to the 3000watt inverter. Note there isn’t anything in the instructions that specify what cables are required/recommend. So I make the long haul again with 10AWG stranded insulated copper wire, 8 gauge pure copper wire, an 8’ grounding rod, and brass grounding connectors. I sink the rod about 20’ in the mud, run the 8awg solid copper wire into the camp, and ground the inverter using the recommended 10AWG insulated stranded copper wire. I make the connection to the inverter using 2’ 4/0 pure copper cables, test, (it works!), and I return home. Next day everything shuts down again. I called Amazon who put me though to Asurion (I bought the insurance), who routed me back to Renogy because it was still under manufacture warranty. Renogy asked if I had performed any multimeter tests, which I had for my own curiosity (not directed to do so by Renogy) and so I reported my test results… 13.8 v DC no load, 120 v AC no load. Renogy said they needed picture evidence. I asked if I they could save me another trip down and allow me to return/replace the inverter, and they said no, no, no. I asked several times because I felt they just kept making things up for me to-do and not honor their warranty. They said I could return it (but wouldn’t allow me to do so) and they could test it, and if they found nothing wrong they would charge me for testing and shipping. At this point I really don’t trust them to “test” the inverter and accept that there’s something wrong with it. I tell them they need to honor their warranty, they direct me back to Amazon. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS INVERTER!!! Save your TIME and MONEY and buy another brand!!

Works great! Fan runs a lot even under light loads and is very noisy.

Cables are rated 200A with 3/8” Copper Eyelet Lugs, excellent cables. These lugs will work fine with 5/16” marine terminals. For 1/4” terminals, you’ll need a washer. Arcs pretty aggressively, recommend connecting positive line first while unit is switched OFF. This is a sign that there are big caps and might handle big inductive loads well. At 180W, fans are completely off. If you put your ear to the unit, there is an almost imperceptible hum. The tone is lower pitched and is not bothersome or even detectable from a few feet. Connecting/Disconnecting smaller 100W inductive loads doesn’t cause power loss like in cheaper units such as Potek 2000W Pure Sine Wave inverter. At 320W, fans are still off. The hum is now almost undetectable with your ear to the unit. At 1050W, the fans are still off and still almost exactly 120V AC. I’m impressed. All lines and terminals are ice cold. The hum has taken a new tone, but it is barely detectable with your ear to the unit. At 1130W, the fans are on low. Unfortunately, a high frequency squeal is added to the noise profile that I can hear from 20 feet away. I have young ears (age 30s) and can hear 15kHz+ no problem. You probably aren’t using this thing as a pillow at night, but just be aware. I'm calling the upper limit at 1100W continuous for my personal use because the noise drives me nuts. YMMV. At 1600W, my battery bank voltage drops to 10.8V which may indicate that I am reaching the limits of what loads I can reasonably test with only two batteries and low charge. The fans are at medium speed and we’ve dropped to 110V AC. The high pitched squeal is very slightly louder. It seems like the fans are responsible for the squeal. I will recharge the batteries and retest higher loads tomorrow. I am running out of appliances! This is the first inverter of four that has met, and actually exceeded my expectations. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this one. Literally the only issue I've come up with is the high pitched squeal at 1100W+, which is well above my camper van base load 98% of the time. I am a HAPPY CAMPER thus far, thank you Renogy for actually delivering a product that meets and even exceeds its specifications. This is my fourth inverter; all previous inverters were returned for one or more serious issues. At least one reviewer listed the soldered 25A fuses on the mainboard as an issue - they managed to blow one or more of them. I like this unit so much that I don't have the heart to test.

If you live in an area prone to winter power outages, this Renogy Pure Sine Wave Inverter (with ATS) is a total game-changer. I bought this specifically to keep my pellet stove running when the grid goes down, and it has performed flawlessly. The "Automatic Switch" is a Lifesaver The standout feature here is the Built-in Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). Here’s how it works: • You plug the inverter into a standard wall outlet and plug your pellet stove into the inverter. • While the power is on, the inverter simply "passes through" the utility electricity to your stove. • The moment the power cuts out, the inverter senses the loss and switches over to battery power in about 15 milliseconds. It’s so fast that the pellet stove doesn't even flicker or go into a shutdown cycle—it just keeps on heating. This is a game changer, because usually if my pellet stove turns off unexpectedly the house can easily become filled with smoke since the fan in the stove shuts off. Why Pure Sine Wave Matters- Pellet stoves have sensitive circuit boards and internal fans. Cheap "Modified Sine Wave" inverters can hum or even fry the electronics. This Renogy unit provides Pure Sine Wave power, which is just as clean (if not cleaner) than what comes out of your wall. My stove runs perfectly quiet on it. Setup Note: Keep in mind that this is the inverter only. You will need to purchase a Deep Cycle Marine or RV battery separately to power it. I paired mine with a 100Ah battery, and it provides hours of backup heat. The Verdict: If you rely on a pellet stove for primary heat, don't risk a frozen house. This inverter is reliable, well-built, and the automatic switching means you don't have to fumble with cables in the dark. Highly recommended!

no lo pude usar no me sirve este equipo pues es de la mitad de la capacidad del equipo comprado llego uno de solo 1000W y compre uno de 2000W No puedo creer este error me frenó el equipamiento de mi RV y es básico este equipo, suspendido mi viaje una empresa como RENOGY debe responder Enviando el equipo comprado

This 3000watt inverter came quickly and on time. It was well packaged and simple to install. I got it hooked up to 500AHR 12volt battery bank in my trailer and the thing ran my AC unit and my fridge!! Obviously wouldn't do that lomg term as batts would drain fast, but it is nice to know, when off grid we can make toast and brew coffee at the same time! Very happy with the unit... I have only just installed it so have not used it for any length of time yet, but so far, so good!

El producto es bueno y de gran calidad, pero amazon, no pone dentro de ningun emapaque la caja original del producto, la caja llego muy maltratada y rota, le recomendaria a amazon, enviara mas protegidos sus productos a sus clientes, he realizado 3 compras de esta misma marca y los 3 llegaron igual de maltratados.

El inversor llegó desde el día 1 de diciembre pero no fue hasta hoy 16 de diciembre que tuve Chanza de ir a instalarlo. Y no prende para nada lo compre aquí según la calidad y estuvo al revés.

so far so good
