<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">What your customers will
find is that these auto parts store inverters only reach their
nominal ratings with resistive loads. When trying to start a motor
they exhibit a fraction of their rated power - too much reactive
load. Same goes for anything with a transformer or power supply.<br>
<br>
Also, if you take the cover off of one you will be unpleasantly
unsurprised at the construction and workmanship. I've seen one
with a "heat sink" for the transistors that was a paper thin piece
of aluminum angle. You have to think that at $300 for 2500 Watts
(supposedly) they used the very cheapest discrete components they
could source.<br>
