The Go Power! GP-800HD is a mid-range 800 watt modified sine wave inverter that changes 12 volt battery power into 120 volt AC. Connect it to your battery, then plug into its two standard North American outlets or its 2.1 amp USB port. It delivers 800 watts continuously and handles start-up surges up to 1,600 watts.
It's an economical fit for RVs, vans, work trucks and campers that run medium-sized power tools, lights, blenders and similar simple loads. Go Power also lists it as a source of emergency backup power. For TVs, laptops and medical devices, Go Power recommends a pure sine wave model.
The GP-800HD supplies 800 watts of continuous power and up to 1,600 watts for brief start-up surges from motors and tools. Efficiency is rated at 80% or better, and the no-load draw is 0.8 amps or less with the switch on and nothing plugged in.
A remote port on the front panel accepts the optional Go Power! GP-HD-R remote, sold separately. With the remote installed, you can turn the inverter on and off from up to 25 feet (8 m) away. When you're not using it, switch it off to save battery power.
Two standard North American outlets handle your AC loads, and a USB port rated 4.75 to 5.25 volts DC at 2.1 amps charges a phone or other USB device.
An alarm sounds when battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts, and the inverter shuts down at 10 volts (each ±0.5 V) to protect the battery. It's also protected against overload, over-temperature, over and under voltage, and short circuits. A single LED shows green for power and red for a fault.
A thermostatically controlled fan cools the GP-800HD. If it overheats, it shuts down and restarts automatically once it cools. The rated operating range is 32 to 104 °F (0 to 40 °C).
Work trucks. Run a 3/8 inch drill or a reciprocating saw. Go Power's manual lists them at about 350 and 600 watts.
RV kitchens. Use a blender (about 350 watts in the manual's table) or a food processor (about 400 watts) from the house battery.
Campers and vans. Power lights, or a vacuum at about 750 watts in the manual's table, from the house battery.
Emergency backup. Plug lights and small appliances into the outlets and run them from a charged 12 volt deep-cycle battery during an outage.
A modified sine wave inverter is a lower-cost way to run tools, lights and resistive loads. Go Power notes that modified sine output can buzz, run hot or damage sensitive electronics and some chargers. A pure sine wave inverter is the type Go Power recommends for TVs, laptops and medical devices.
Go Power's HD series spec sheet rates the GP-1000HD at 1,000 watts continuous and 2,000 watts surge, against 800 and 1,600 watts for the GP-800HD. Both draw 0.8 amps or less at no load, both accept the optional remote and both use the GP-DC-KIT2 install kit. The GP-800HD is the more compact unit at 7.48 inches long versus 9.44 inches.
Go Power estimates the GP-800HD draws about 74 amps from a 12 volt battery at full load, so plan your battery bank to match. The manual calls for 12 volt deep-cycle lead-acid batteries. Gel and AGM batteries can be used with special charging, but not automotive starting batteries. Use #6 AWG cable and an F-110 inline fuse or breaker, mounted in the positive cable within 12 inches (31 cm) of the battery. Keep the inverter within 10 feet of the batteries and both cables under 10 feet (3 m) in total.
Mount it horizontally in a dry, ventilated spot with at least 2 inches of clearance, away from the battery compartment and flammable materials. The manual describes it as a vehicle accessory, not for a building's electrical system or marine use, and says it can't feed AC wiring where neutral and ground are bonded. Some induction motors in refrigerators and pumps need very high surge current and may not start, even within the rating.
Anything whose running watts stay under 800 and whose start-up surge stays under 1,600 watts, such as drills and saws within that rating, lights and blenders. Go Power doesn't recommend it for sensitive electronics.
Go Power's manual and spec sheet list the GP-DC-KIT2 install kit for the GP-800HD. It includes 10 foot battery cables and a Class T fuse with its block.
With the inverter switched off, plug the GP-HD-R into the remote port. Once the remote is installed, leave the inverter's own switch in the on position and use the remote to turn it on and off.
Go Power covers the GP-800HD for one year against defects in materials and workmanship.
The Go Power! 800 Watt Heavy-Duty Modified Sine Wave Inverter gives your 12 volt system 800 watts for tools, lights and kitchen appliances, with a USB port, remote capability and built-in protection. If you'd like help sizing the battery bank, cable or fuse for it, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
