Smartpower charger inverter?

What inverter are you using for the SmartPower charger? I'll be running it from a portable leisure battery setup due to site requirements.

Hi Simon, I use one of these (actually the 1200w version but its showing double the price now) 1000W - 12V Pure Sine Wave Sunshine Power Inverter. Works perfectly, no issues at all with using the Smartpower charger, really good quality inverter.

That's just the info I was looking for Thank you. What size in line fuse did you use?

Simon I put a Split charge relay kit in line so it didnt affect the main battery, this is the kit I bought.. didn't need anything else. I think they had 80amp strip fuses used as well.

Driving the inverter from the battery will take a certain power. Some of that power will be lost in the inverter. The charger will therefore get less power than the battery supplied to the inverter.
