You could definitely hook this up to a 12v battery in a truck. But you would need to figure out how much of the 3000 watts you can use depending on how much power your battery has. Batteries in vehicles are designed for huge rushes of current to start a vehicle. But I'm not sure how much sustained draw they can take. I've not had much experience with using lead acid/AGM batteries with inverters.
Thanks for sharing. I just recently found out you can do this. After this video of course. Why would they set the voltage at 113 when it could be at 120? There must be some reason.
@@proficientprepper The inverter will operate appliances fine as long as the appliance is rated at 110 volts If it's rated for 120v poor performance or damage could occur after some time. "why would they set the voltage at 113 when it could be at 120? There must be some reason." contact the company and ask them?
As i was watching, you mention the terminals for the DC wires having to be at 90° to each other to work. I was thinking you could invert one of the terminals so they may be able to lay over each other flat?
Yes, next time I review an inverter, I will definitely do that. Brad Cagle is another youtuber that reviewed the 2000watt version of this inverter. He opened up the inverter if you wanted to take a look at his video - ua-cam.com/video/KLdEr6SdgFI/v-deo.html
Would this inverter have the same impact as shown, with using a car or small truck 12v battery. With it installed in the car or small truck?

if I were to buy this inverter I would crank up the 110 voltage to 120 with the adjustable trim pots on the inside of the inverter

I remember trying different ways. I may have tried that already. Next time I use that inverter, I will give that a shot.
Nice review but I just wish you open it up to see the internal parts.
I will do that going forward. I honestly thought not many people would care about that. But I found out differently.

Your batteries couldn't give enough to keep up the power
They are too expensive, you may as well run a generator and use LPG gas in your RV
