    Krieger 2000W Inverter never used just died

    I can't find any relevant info about the Krieger 2000W inverter. Brought it on Amazon. It is only 13 months old. I only turn it on 1-2 times a week and only for charging small power tool, flashlight and some 18650 batteries. I have not had a power outage since I built my 300W solar backup rig...

    That's alot of idle usage on the inverters part that can add up smh. Good to know, I'll remember that. Every bit counts when one has to depend on it. Haven't received the inverter yet it's due in a few days. Thanks for that info. The solar panels are the RNG-100D-SS wattage is listed at 100 W X...

    First timer 200 watt system ? about fuses, breakers OK to use?

    Yes, the watt hog heater smh that's why I put that ? mark on that one. Perhaps when I get another battery. I have a watt meter that just arrived that I will measure the watt usage of things with today, but I have a some averages of watt usage of the appliances until I take accurate readings...

    First timer 200 watt system ? about fuses, breakers OK to use?

    Hello everyone, I've been lurking this forum and watching Will's videos. I like his basic 400 watt build but am testing the waters with a 200 watt system.
