The AIMS Power 1000 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Inverter Kit Gives You Clean 120V AC Power With the Fuse, Cables and Remote Already Matched
The AIMS Power 1000 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Inverter Kit pairs the PWRI100012120S pure sine inverter with an ANL fuse kit, a set of 11 foot 6 AWG cables and an on/off remote switch. The inverter turns 12V DC battery power into 120V AC at 60 Hz, with 1000 watts of continuous power, 2000 watts of surge and up to 8 AC amps.
It's built for anyone who wants mobile or backup AC power without sourcing each part on their own. AIMS lists it for work trucks, RVs, vans, buses and battery backup systems, and the inverter manual adds boats. The cables are precision cut and professionally crimped, and the 100 amp fuse kit includes a 6 AWG jumper, so the main DC parts arrive ready to install.
AIMS Power 1000 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Inverter Kit Features
Pure Sine Output for Sensitive Electronics
The inverter puts out a pure sine wave with total harmonic distortion under 3%. AIMS says this waveform has the same quality as utility power and suits most devices, appliances and tools. It also reduces the noise produced while appliances run.
2000 Watt Surge for Start-Up Loads
You get 1000 watts of continuous output and a 2000 watt surge rating for 40 milliseconds. A soft start feature raises the AC voltage gradually. AIMS suggests turning on the appliance before the inverter, especially for motors and other inductive loads.
Fuse Protection Sized for This Inverter
The inverter's spec sheet calls for a 100 amp inline DC fuse and 6 AWG or larger cable. This kit includes the ANL100KITJ fuse kit with a 6 AWG jumper and the CBL11FT6AWG cable set, one red and one black cable, rated at 117 amps max. You don't have to work out the fuse size or cable gauge yourself.
On/Off Remote Included
The inverter has a remote port for an on/off remote switch, and the REMOTEHF remote comes in the kit. You can switch the inverter on and off from the remote as well as from the push button on the unit.
Built-In Protection Circuits
A buzzer warns you when battery voltage drops to 9.8V, and the inverter shuts down at 9.5V. It also shuts down above 16V input, on overload and above 149°F. The AC output shuts off on a short circuit and resets once the problem is fixed. LED power and protect indicators show its status.
Dual Outlets, USB and Conformal Coating
The front panel has two 3-prong AC outlets and a USB port rated at 5V DC and 1A. The inverter is conformal coated to protect against moisture and corrosion, it's cooled by a thermally controlled fan, and it's ETL listed to UL 458 and CSA 22.2 No 107.1.
Real-World Applications
Work trucks. Run smaller tools, electronics and appliances from the truck's battery bank with fused, ready-made wiring.
RVs, vans and buses. Power small appliances and electronics on the road from a 12V house battery.
Boats. The manual lists boats among mobile uses. Connect the inverter's ground terminal to the boat's ground system and keep water away from the unit.
Battery backup. Keep sensitive devices running from a 12V battery bank when utility power goes out.
Practical Comparison
Complete Kit Versus Buying the Inverter Alone
The PWRI100012120S inverter does not come with cables on its own. With this kit, the fuse kit, jumper, red and black cables and remote are already matched to the inverter's 100 amp fuse and 6 AWG cable recommendations, which saves you sizing and sourcing time.
Pure Sine Inverter Versus a Modified Sine Inverter
AIMS says a pure sine inverter provides more capabilities than a modified sine inverter because its power is cleaner, and it reduces the noise appliances make. AIMS describes its pure sine line as ideal for sensitive equipment.
Buyer Guidance
Size Your Battery for the Load
AIMS's manual divides watts by battery voltage and adds about 10% for the inverter's own use. A 1000W load on a 12V battery draws about 83.3 amps, or about 91.6 amps with that 10%. In AIMS's example, a 12V 200Ah battery at that load runs about 2.18 hours if fully depleted, which AIMS does not recommend, since deep cycle batteries last longer when only depleted to 50%. Also plan for start-up demand of 3 to 5 times an appliance's running watts.
Plan the Install
The inverter is for negative ground electrical systems only. Mount it right side up on a stable surface with all four mounting screws, allow 12 inches of space around it and keep water off the unit. AIMS lists an ambient range of 32 to 104°F, with 50 to 77°F preferred. Connect the ground terminal to the vehicle chassis, the boat's ground system or earth, and do not reverse polarity.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You have a 12V negative ground battery system
- Your loads stay within 1000 watts and 8 AC amps
- You want the fuse, cables and remote in one order
- You power electronics that need clean pure sine power
Common Questions
What Happens When My Battery Runs Low?
The buzzer sounds intermittently when input drops below 9.8V. Below 9.5V the inverter shuts down, the green light goes off and the red light comes on. Recharge the battery before you use it again.
How Long Are the Cables?
The kit includes 11 foot 6 AWG cables, one red and one black, precision cut and professionally crimped. AIMS rates them at 117 amps max.
Can I Power USB Devices From the Inverter?
Yes. The USB port supplies 5V DC at up to 1A. Check that your device doesn't need more than that.
Does the Inverter Use Power When It's Off?
AIMS says the inverter doesn't draw battery current when it's switched off. With the switch on and no load, it draws about 0.4 amps. AIMS still recommends disconnecting it from the battery when you won't use it for a long time.
What Warranty Does It Have?
AIMS lists a 2 year warranty for this kit, and the inverter manual covers the inverter with a full 2 year warranty from the date of purchase.
