here is the smallest one i could find how about this one?

30 watt inverter

how do you translate a 10,000 mah battery to watts? how would you know if it worked?


i can't imagine it wouldnt work since im using a 20 watt solar panel to charge a 10,000 mah battery,


that has to bump it up to over 30 watt right?
 Quoting: Daersoulkeeper


Power (W) = Volts (V) x Current (A)

eg 12V x 5A = 60W

1000mA = 1A

10000mAh = 10Ah

So

10Ah with a 10A load will last 1 hour
10Ah with a 1A load will last 10 hours

You cannot make Watts like that, all the inverter does is change the ratio of V and A

Roughly

12V x 10A = 120V x 1A

but inverters are only about 80% efficient so you probably get

Output = 120V x 1A x (80/100)
so 120V x 0.8A

ok so 10000 mAh = 10A. output 12v on battery

my battery outputs 12X10 = 120 watts?

my battery is rated at 10,000 mah with 12volt 2.1 amp output
 Quoting: Daersoulkeeper


As the battery is only rated at 2.1A

10Ah with a 2A load will last 5 hours
 Quoting: lightchild_uk



lightchild was i correct? my battery rated to put out 120 watts then? if thats true, is it bad to get a 30watt inverter? or is it ok? should i get higher?

wish this wasn't confusing.
