Even though this is not the inverter I was looking up. This guy is pretty thorough. Even gave me some information I didn't even know I was looking for at the moment. What I was actually trying to find was a video on BENTISM Power Inverter Modified Sine Wave Inverter 5000W DC 12V to AC 110V w/LCD
Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I was seriously considering trying this inverter for a single reason. The Renogy 3000 watt inverter had a struggle to start my 16,000 btu air conditioner on my boat because of the surge. In fact, I watched the whole video waiting to see just that, but it never came. I ended up buying a 4000 watt Giandel and it handles the load just fine and runs quite a bit cooler and quieter than the Renogy did. I also find it only draws about 5 watts when idle as well. I am very leary about specifications on just about anything these days because companies just flat out lie. I only purchased the Giandel because Will Prowse tried one and could not kill it. I also bought mine second hand for $250, so it was just a bit better of a deal. So far, 4 months into cruising in the yacht, it has not given me one bit of trouble and it so quite, I don't even know it's there. In fact, the cabinet cooling fans are most of what I hear.
I think you made the right choice going with a 4000w on that. Thanks for sharing!
What a great and simple video on this inverter. Thank you sir!
Much appreciated 🙏 thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
My 3500 Edecoa is just like this. I grounded my unit to earth ground through my house wiring. I just pulled one fan guard screw out a few turns and used a stack on crimp terminal. Second, if you buy one of these, throw the cables in the trash. You will need heavy 4/0 copper. With properly crimped ring terminals. 3500 watts x 12 volts is 292 amps. If you're pulling max amperage, those cables can get stupid hot. Great video bro.
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. Yeah, I agree toss the cables that come with it and get quality windy nation cables. Can't go wrong with 4/0
I purchased the 2,500 for my boat! Thanks!
I haven't tested out the 2500w version but would assume it to be very similar. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Thank you, Justin!👍
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Thanks for a great video, very informative. You've helped me decide about goetting this inverter. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Good idea Justin👍
Thanks 👍🏻
Also, there are high frequency and low frequency inverters. I read that if one wishes to power an induction load, like a pump motor, one should choose an inverter with low frequency. I'm not an electrician, so I can't say why. When in doubt, check! Another thing, for that size inverter, 3500w, one might consider a 24v system, or even better, a 48v system. It would run cooler, and the wires would not need to be so thick. You save money.
I agree that a 48v system would be more efficient. In some cases, people need a 12v system with this wattage, though. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I purchased a 2000w for the Jeep thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
I have the 24v version of this and it only draws 5 watts at idle.
Had it for over a year now and I'm really happy with it so far.
Yeah, I have that one also. Made a video on it as well. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
My jaw is on the floor. Only 5w?! Mine is another brand 2000w and draws about 47w
Thank you for uploading this information about this inverter. I'm upset because I spent $300 on a Kreiger 2000W PSW unit and had it for only13 months and it just died. I never ever even used it on ANY household loads. I paired it with two Redodo 100AH batteries as an emergency backup 300W solar system and only turned it on weekly to charge up some power tool batteries. Went to charge up some batteries and it failed to turn on. I paid $60 to ship it to NC for warranty repair or replacement and now USPS has no clue where the heck it is! Glad I insured it for $300 but man this is so frustrating. Kreiger is supposed to be reliable from all the reviews too. I may just go with a Vevor 2500W unit.

Excellent and very thorough video, one of the most comprehensive explanations I have ever seen, and trust me, I have seen plenty of inverter videos. Very odd there is no grounding lug. Every inverter I’ve seen in videos, and the 3 in person has a lug. I’m still confused on if you need to ground it or not, because some say you need to ground to an RV, others say not. How can we find out, 100% for sure?
I enjoyed your video thx
You are so thorough in your videos! Thanks for all of the information! 🫶🏼
Appreciate it 🙏 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Good stuff 👍🏽
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great video. Can you please do the follow-up by doing a tear-down so we can see how good/bad it is made? Thanks.
Good idea! I might have to do that in some future videos. Thanks for watching and commenting! Would love to have you part of my www.diysolarbuilds.com community. It's free to register, and I am looking for new people who love solar as much as I do.
this perfect for my trailer that runs just lights and small ac and heater and charge phones and usb battery banks
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Brilliant Justin! Are you going to the RE+ show next week?
Thanks! I wish I could but not this time. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
I bought this inverter a couple of months ago. There are a few issues with it, 1) two of the outlets have hot and neutral inverted, two are right and two are backwards. 2) the cooling fan on my unit doesn't work properly, it makes a horrible buzzing sound when it tries to start at low speeds... and either doesn't spin or spins slowly and haltingly. Then it goes into overdrive and sounds like an airplane. Obviously a defective fan. I contacted VEVOR about this and they replied IT WAS NORMAL (anyone who has ever worked with cooling fans knows this is NOT normal) and 3) the terminal posts are M6 screws and are connected to the mainboard with 4x4mm2 wires, for a total of 16mm2 for each post. This is equivalent to 6 gauge wire, which is not enough for the amps this unit can pull from the battery bank. Overall it is a functional unit and these issues can be corrected, but VEVOR refused to help me with the fan, and that is a very bad sign from the company.
Thanks for sharing!
An affordable alternative to the expensive Samlex PST 3k, Thx for posting.

Great information! Subscribed! How long until the battery gets depleted? & What’s a good way to charge the battery after usage? Will definitely be surfing your channel.
How long it takes to deplete a battery depends on the capacity of the battery and the amount of watts being consumed. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Just got this inverter, seems unbeatable for the price, but trying to figure out the best way to connect to the lugs to power my RV.
Good luck with your installation. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Great video, awesome information. 3500 watts is a bit much for me. Do you feel that their 300watt or 2500 watt inverters would be the same quality. Thanks
I haven't gotten my hands on one of their smaller 12v to 120v inverters. So I couldn't say for certain.
Well made video Justin. If you can walk through a configuration to connect to a set of solar panel that's be great. Especially when the inverter works just at 12V while solar panels can easily connect in series to 100V or more to reduce DC current going through. With that in mind what's the best way to link up high voltage solar panels to 12V 3.5kW inverter in parallel to a 12V battery? Thank you so much
I will have to work on doing a video on that sometime. You would need a charge controller in between the PV panels and the battery. Then the inverter would be connected to the battery. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
👍 much appreciate that Justin. Make sure I'm not affecting any of your plan. It was just an idea that's all. That idea comes from my earlier experience connecting four 24V PVs in series to make up 96V DC panel fed into a charge controller to step it down to 24V DC to fit my battery (in parallel to my 24V inverter). In one sunny day the battery was charged up and the BMS inside shut down the battery, leaving the inverter alone to be fed with whatever the charge controller pumps. That controller probably thought the inverter could accept much higher voltage so I watched the charging voltage shooted up to 50+ V. Some little explosion and smoke came out of that inverter in a few minutes time and I have to cut the power from the inverter immediately. From that point on I don't know what configuration to use, or should I add some voltage-monitor to cut off PV input. I understand I can connect the PVs all in parallel instead, but aside from there fact that more wire would be needed in that case, the panel voltages might not be high enough to pump into a 24V battery. That's still a mystery to me, but you don't need to answer that if it's not relevant to your plan. Thanks again for your video
That little plug-in tester is not checking for the inverter being staked to the physical ground. What it is looking for is being able to pass current between the hot pin to the earth pin in the socket. Some inverters do not actually have the earth pin at 0 volts relative to the live pin, nor the neutral pin. They are at 50% voltage. The plug-in tester may not think this is right and indicates a fault. This doesn't mean a GFCI will not detect an appliance internal earth fault when connected to this inverter. Plug-in a portable GFCI and use a plug-in GFCI tester to see if it can be tripped. A proper tester is really needed to ensure the GFCI will trip within the allowed time but they aren't cheap.
There's a lot more that can be said about how GFCIs work and how to hook up this inverter and determining if the inverter is even suitable for such purpose but that's a little beyond this humble comment.
That said, 300A through those gauge CCA wires? They are certainly going to get hot and the voltage drop across them isn't going to be all that flash either.
Well said and I appreciate the comment. I love learning from you guys and getting comments that get my brain's gears spinning. Do you think a Klein Tools RT390 would be a good tool to thoroughly test the GFCI function on these types of units? Thank you for watching and commenting! 👍
@@JustinsProjectLike you, I doubt the inverter itself has GFCI function built in especially when there isn't any test and reset buttons. I guess I wandered a bit there but it was more of an explanation of why your tester may be indicating the open earth pin, ie it may really be open, or it may be at 50% voltage.
Whip the top off and take a look at the back of the sockets and check for a wire on the earth pin going to the board in the inverter. If there isn't one a plugin GFCI will not trip on a live to appliance chassis fault, nor will your tester trip the plug in GFCI, and you can be confident the inverter does not have GFCI function built in too.
Keep in mind that with no earth pin and the inverter and/or the AC coming out of it not earthed it is technically impossible to get a shock from this situation anyway without a double fault - eg first fault takes one live or neutral to the physical earth and the second fault is you getting between the physical earth and the other wire, say wire to chassis of a tool you are holding, so current can flow across you.
👍👌❤️🇨🇦, thanks for the review, butI would run away from tgat inverter, cipper clad aluminum cables, makes me think what else thet cheaped out on on the inside
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Can you operate an air compressor with this one Inverter? I would like to see you test one. And thank you for the details not everyone is as clear as you are.
Thanks Justin.
I will have to try powering up my air compressor the next time I revisit this inverter. It will be close. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
What is the voltage between hot and ground? I have found that many of the cheaper inverters (without GFCIs) have 70V between Hot and Ground, 70V between Neutral and Ground, and 120V between hot and neutral.
I will have to dive deeper into the GFCI on this unit but I still believe it was being advertised on this unit when it was meant for another model. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
Thanks for the video, question for you tho, would you run that brand of inverter in semi, i use it for microwave, keurig and charging power tool battery and maybe an airfryer. Thanks Mate.
Yes, it is definitely capable of running a microwave, keurig, air fryer, and chargers for your tools. Just be sure that the BMS on your battery will allow for larger amp discharge and size your wires appropriately. Oh, don't forget to install all the recommended protections like inline fuses and breakers to protect your system and, most importantly, your semi. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@@JustinsProject Thank you! I've got all the wiring,fuse allready in, had a inverter in before , died, i'm looking for a good replacement inverter! Thanks again!
What ohm resistor do you use to charge the caps? I have this exact inverter for a diy solar generator I'm building. And GREAT video!
Here are the exact ones I purchased off Amazon: amzn.to/3TKsq3w Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
Just use a test light in between the batteries and inverter, when the light goes out its precharged
yea excellent video...thumbs up!
When you powered up the capacitors did you go to the negative side or the positive side
I've used both, but usually, I use the positive side.
Great stuff. What size inline fuse is needed between the battery and inverter?
It really depends on your overall setup. The fuse size is usually stated in the manual and some inverters already have built in fuses/breakers. The rule of thumb that here would be “Continuous Watts / Battery Voltage times 1.25, for example a typical 1000W 12V inverter draws up around 83 continuous amps and we would add the 25% safety factor which comes out to 105 Amps, so we would recommend a 150A fuse. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks! I bought 2/0 awg wire and in the middle of hooking up the wires with a 300A ANL inline fuse. I also got 250A fuses in case 300 was too much. I need 2 more 2/0 terminal ends to connect the cable from the inline fuse to the battery. I came to this conclusion from reading somewhere I saw online. Like I said I have to wait for these terminal ends to get here to finish the installation. So hopefully the 300A or 250A fuses isn’t too much.
Question what inverter and Battery setup would I need to power a 6000 BTU portable AC unit for a box truck that's well insulated and 16 ft long
Honestly, It's getting about cheap enough to buy a portable power station for that type of setup. Plus you can just unplug it and use it anywhere. The flexibility of those things are impressive.
Hi hi And how about the sound? Is it too loud to sleep with the inverter on? for example in a mini van
It was very quiet, actually. I don't think it would disturb your sleep at all. I'm a fairly light sleeper, and I don't think it would bother me at all. It is that quiet. Thanks for watching and commenting! Would love to have you part of my www.diysolarbuilds.com community. It's free to register, and I am looking for new people who love solar as much as I do.
I am a total novice at this. I just bought a Honda Pilot that has the 2 12v gigarette outlets. I will go camping and I may want to use a computer or other small appliances off of the gigarette outlets. What would you recommend I get? Is there any negative effect to the car battery or its electrical system when using these devices? Thank you
It really depends on how you are looking to connect everything. For a total novice, I would recommend a portable power station. It makes things so much easier. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
You have to have the inverter grounded for the GFCI to work. Sadly, Renogy phone support said in a camper you don’t but in researching, that’s incorrect. Think about it, I think it’s no way for it to work if not grounded. Most inverters instructions I have seen mentioned grounding on camper or earth ground.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Can u run a inverter off being plugged in a outlet in the house instead of a battery? I have a ac unit in my shed that won't come on cause not enough power from extension cord from 20amp plug
I would recommend a portable power station in that scenario since it offers pass through and backup.
Great video! Can I be able to run a heat press for t-shirts that runs around 1800 watts? And what kind of battery do I need to use for this inverter?
It is capable of 3500w continuously. 1800w would not be an issue. You would need a decent sized Ah battery if you are going to be pulling that type of load. I would recommend a 12v 200ah LifePO4. I have a couple of links I could share with you if you are interested in those. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Yes That would be great thanks

I have tested both brands on my channel and can confidently recommend either one. If you need more compacity then both brands have larger batteries sizes for the 12v versions in the 300Ah and 400Ah ranges.
Hope that helps you out.
Would it be the same battery if I get the vevo or another one called jupiter . I was thinking in getting a 5000w instead of the 3500w. What would you recommend? I will be using it often for small pop up events to use my heat press. I was also curious on how long can I use it for during a day? Or how many hours? I just want to get something that will be long lasting for my equipment and not be able to damage them. Thanks so much👍
@merchforsuccess Yes, those batteries would work with almost any power inverter. I would also recommend starting a conversation on this topic over on the forums diysolarbuilds.com hope to hear from you over there.
That ground fault protection might work if the inverters case is grounded.
I might try that out and see if that works. Gotta figure out how to get that case grounded. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
@DIYSolarBuilds I would try running a ground wire from the batterys (-) pole to the inverter case itself.Make sure to put a small amp fuse in line for safety measure. BETTER YET, use a volt meter to see if any voltage is back fueding.If there is voltage,then the inverter is internally wired wrong and do not run that wire--A long time ago there was such a critter called POSITIVE GROUND. (bad idea).
I have that inverter and it's a workhorse, the fan rarely comes on and it burns about 7w at idle. I have the terminal block connected to my sub panel with 10awg Romex wire and 4/0 welding cables going to the batteries. The remote control is too bright and doesn't accurately read the correct voltage, but the inverter itself is unbeatable for the price.
Thanks for providing that feedback! 👍🏻
Have a 2500 watt vevor. Died after 1 1/2 year. A pain, I have to disconnect and remove and buy new inverter. Maybe fuses? they sent spares with unit but no instructions. Seems like most cheap ones have fuses soldered to the board. Also, their units don't have cooling fins which could have contributed to failure. You get what you pay for. I am not a fulltimer, used on camping trips. Cannot recommend brand.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
can it work for a LEVOIT LV600S Smart Warm and Cool Mist Humidifiers for Home Bedroom Large Room, (6L) 753ft² Coverage, Quickly & Evenly Humidify Whole House, Easy Top Fill, App & Voice Control - Quiet Sleep Mode I NEED to KNOW if it will work on it or will i NEED to buy a bigger one that cost more money
It really just depends on the consumption of the appliances you want to power, whether it will work or not.
Hi good afternoon l would like to know if they have a 12vlt to 220 3000watt
Thank for your reply
I would check their website for that. I don't know for certain that they do.
what about the PUPVWMBH 100 A HOUR BAT. ??? I can buy one for under 200 bucks. Should I ???
Thanks is pretty cheap. Can't say, I never test that brand. Let us know if you do and have it works out for you.
Can this be installed in a car?
The connector cables look short to hook to my car battery
I would recommend adding larger cables that are pure copper if decide to go with this inverter. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
How many watts per outlet? Can I draw 3500w from only 1 outlet. Like an a/c
I would recommend considering the terminal blocks with an inline breaker and an AC disconnect. But keep in mind that it is rated at 25amp. 25a x 120v = 3000watts. 80% of that is 2400watts. The front plugs on the unit are rated at 15amps. 120v x 15amps = 1800watts max. But if you take into consideration the 80% rule, that outlet is 1440watts max. That's why the terminal block is there. To handle a little larger load. Hope that was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Will this work with a 56AH lithium (limitless retro 56) safely
Should work with it as long as its a 12v version. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
no gfci. should probably hook it up to a oscilloscope and check the sine pattern
Yeah, I will probably do that the next time I hook it up. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
3500W at 12V that is 300 amps. such a high current over thin copper-coated aluminum cables?
With 24 volts input that's still 150A. then you can adjust the cable cross section.
Pure copper cables do not have to be as thick as aluminum cables.
Those are the cables that come with it. I would upgrade them to larger pure copper if I were going to use this for anything more than testing. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
I am looking for a power source like this for my mobile set up (van detailing), if I get that how can I charge the battery, quick and safe? Anybody knows?
Solar Charger controller. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Can we run printer in 1000 watt inverter
Depends on the amount of power the printer draws during operation. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Can someone tell me why when I do a continuity check between the 4 ac outlets that every other outlet tones opposite between hot and neutral and also to the hardwire contacts
Did you ever figure out the answer? Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
No I took the box off exposing the board and on the 15 amp outlets there are no wires between the hots and neutral just heavily sautered boards from the output wires red will supply the first hot bus then go over to the neutral on the next outlet and so on back and fourth the 25 amp hard wire terminals have the red supply wire going to the hot and black as the neutral with the green and yellow as ground bonded to the case there is a reason that they didn’t put a ground stud on that thing any where because if you ever tried to wire it into a panel an a cabin or house some where the neutral and ground are bonded that would light up your life in a red hot hurry I am not using the 15 amp outlets but cut up a triplex dog bone adapter cord and wired it to the 25 amp ac output terminals I will then just run loads from that
Make sure u do your research. Before u buy an inverter..I did..now I have an awsome Renogy 3000w inverter
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
well its been 9 months and the website still says GFCI. two probable conclusions: 1. they properly grounded the circuit. or 2. they do not watch your videos
Definitely NOT gfci outlets no trip or reset buttons and no labeling.......
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
He said it at around 8:00 ...
One thing for future reference with the tester though is I've never found an external GFCI tester that will trip a non grounded GFCI outlet. Note that a ground is not required for a GFCI outlet (non grounded GFCI are approved by nec). All a GFCI does is monitor for any differences between the hot and neutral and trips if they are imbalanced
I don't understand why people don't open these inverters up and see how they are really made? Many of them are using the case for a heat sink etc. If you are going to do a review why not go the whole way as there are so many fake inverters out there,
Thanks for the feedback
I like the video but I just got one of these and there are no markings on the hardwired terminal for positive neutral ground. I'm trying to hardwire my RV plug into this now 😤
You are right. That should be clearly marked. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Bet you can't start and run a 3,500 Watt 5 HP motor loads with this cheap lightweight inverter.
I would test it if I had a 5HP on hand. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
Did he say inverter.
Yes
