Hi everybody! I hope this hasn’t been discussed already because I couldn’t find a specific thread, but I need some guidance.
I have a 270 amp hour 12 volt GC3 Battleborn battery. I got it to build a 12v system while living in a vehicle. My main concern right now is the inverter I can/could/should use. 4000 watts would do everything of course, but the battery is only 270Ah and I only want the one since it’s large. I loosely know that batteries dictate what inverter you can use because they have to be able to power them as well as the loads you add, so what is my best option? I’m not getting another battery but I wouldn’t mind a solar generator to handle my high surge appliances like my water kettle separately. And frankly, is the model of the battery a hindrance at all??
My daily/frequent uses for the battery and inverter would be 12v lights, 12v water pump, 120v water heater once a day, charging small electronics once a day, a 12v fridge, a 110v TV, video game consoles every few days (PS4, original Xbox, GameCube, etc.), 80 watt gaming laptop, Mac Mini computer, charging console controllers, and two small thermoelectric fridges (one 12v DC the other 110v AC).
I’m open to any and all advice/expertise! Please remember that I cannot buy another 270Ah battery for series or parallel and am past the return window to simply get 2 or more 100Ah batteries. I would also like to stay with the simple 12v system for now. I am also open to purchasing one of those “all in one” systems if a 1000 watt inverter can work well for what I described above. I’m just struggling to figure it all out on my own. Thank you!
