AIMS Power 800 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter

The AIMS Power 800 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter Delivers Practical AC Power for Vehicles, RVs, and Off-Grid Battery Banks

The AIMS Power 800 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter is a compact, durable DC to AC inverter that connects directly to a standard 12 volt battery and delivers 120 volt AC power for small tools, chargers, pumps, and household devices. It ships with 40 inch 8 AWG cables for a direct battery connection, so you can put it to work in a car, truck, RV, van, boat, or off-grid cabin without modifying your electrical system. If you need a step up from small plug-in inverters at a budget-friendly price, this 800 watt model hits a sweet spot.

AIMS Power 800 Watt 12 Volt Modified Sine Power Inverter Features

800 Watts Continuous Output for Everyday Tools and Electronics

With 800 watts of continuous power, this inverter handles laptops, chargers, small appliances, and many small tools. It also has a 1600 watt surge rating, but AIMS Power notes that the surge is not meant for startup applications, so plan your loads around the continuous rating.

Included 8 AWG Battery Cables for a Solid Direct Connection

Higher-wattage inverters need a direct battery connection, and AIMS Power includes 40 inch 8 AWG cables to make that connection. A pre-slotted mounting plate makes it easy to secure the inverter in a vehicle, cabinet, or equipment bay.

Dual AC Outlets So You Can Run Two Devices at Once

Two three-prong AC receptacles let you power a pair of devices side by side, as long as the combined load stays within 800 watts.

Up to 95% Efficiency for Longer Battery Runtime

The inverter reaches 95% efficiency at one-third load and 90% at full load, with a no-load draw under 0.7 amps. An aluminum case and cooling fan help keep operating temperatures in check.

Built-In Protections and Clear LED Indicators So You Can Run It With Confidence

• Over temperature protection with automatic shutdown
• Overload protection
• AC output short circuit protection
• Internal fuse protection
• Battery low voltage alarm (10.5V ±0.5V) and shutdown (10.0V ±0.5V)
• High input voltage protection (15.5V)
• Isolated ground neutral
• Green power LED and red heavy load or fault LED

Real-World Applications

AIMS Power designed this inverter for a wide range of 12 volt setups:

• Cars, trucks, and SUVs for laptops, chargers, and small electronics
• RVs, camping, van life, and overlanding for small appliances
• Solar-powered off-grid cabins running from a 12 volt battery bank
• Boats and watercraft for small onboard AC loads
• Work trucks and job sites for chargers and small tools
• Mobile businesses such as food trucks, service vehicles, and field operations
• Backup power for a few essentials during an outage

Since it runs quietly with zero emissions, it is also a good fit for indoor and customer-facing settings where a generator is not an option.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus small portable generators. A generator burns fuel and must run outdoors. This inverter draws from a 12 volt battery and runs quietly, which makes it a cleaner choice for moderate loads.

Versus smaller plug-in inverters. Cigarette lighter inverters are limited by your vehicle's socket. With included battery cables, this unit can deliver its full 800 watts.

Versus pure sine wave inverters. Modified sine wave output keeps the cost down and works with many tools and chargers. For sensitive electronics or medical equipment, AIMS Power recommends its pure sine wave options.

Is This 800 Watt Inverter the Right Fit

• Continuous load. Size your loads to the 800 watt continuous rating, since the surge rating is not meant for startup applications.
• Battery capacity. Runtime depends on your battery bank size and load. Larger loads drain batteries quickly, so size your bank accordingly.
• Waveform. Confirm your devices work with modified sine wave power.
• Input voltage. It operates from 10 to 15 volts DC.

This may be a good fit if

• You want a step up from a cigarette lighter inverter
• You need two AC outlets from a 12 volt battery
• You want battery cables included in the box
• You are looking for an affordable inverter for a vehicle, RV, boat, or cabin

Common Questions

Does It Come With Battery Cables?

Yes. AIMS Power includes 40 inch 8 AWG cables for a direct battery connection.

Can It Start Motors or Compressors?

AIMS Power notes the 1600 watt surge rating is not meant for startup applications. For motor or compressor loads, consider a model with surge capacity designed for startup.

Can I Mount It?

Yes. It has a pre-slotted mounting plate for secure installation.

What Warranty Does It Carry?

AIMS Power backs this inverter with a 2 year parts and labor warranty and free tech support.
