Am wondering what is a reasonable time period for a 3000w or 4000w, 24v inverter to last before it has a failure if running 24/7.? Appreciate your comments.
The reason I ask is that some equipment sold in the US has longer warranties than the same equipment sold in Oz (agree there are different voltages/sales volumes involved).
I personally would expect that an Inverter should last 3 years prior to failure and would expect a replacement regardless of the warranty, providing I purchased the unit from a bricks and mortar company in Oz and expect them to honour consumer rights per SA/Oz.
I appreciate the gold standard, Victron equipment has 5 or 10 year warranty depending, but for various reasons, I will not be purchasing one their inverters.
