Renogy CORE 12V 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Short Product Summary

The Renogy CORE 12V 1000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter converts 12V battery power into clean 230V AC for your appliances, with a built-in transfer switch (UPS function) that keeps essential loads running during a power cut. Pure sine wave output makes it safe for sensitive electronics — ideal for caravans, trailers, off-grid setups and home backup.

Why This Product

A cheap modified-sine inverter can hum, run hot and damage sensitive electronics. The CORE 1000W gives you clean pure sine power, a generous 2000W surge for start-up loads, and an automatic transfer switch so connected devices keep running when the grid drops — a dependable, no-drama way to run AC power off your 12V battery.

Key Features

• 1000W continuous / 2000W surge – handles everyday appliances plus short start-up spikes.
• Pure sine wave 230V AC, 50Hz – safe for laptops, TVs, fridges and other sensitive electronics.
• Built-in transfer switch (UPS) – automatically keeps essential loads powered during an outage.
• >92% efficiency – more of your battery's energy reaches your appliances.
• 2 × AC sockets + terminal block – flexible connection options.
• Full protection – over-voltage, over-current, short-circuit and over-temperature.

Ideal For

• Caravan, trailer & camper builds needing 230V AC off a 12V battery
• Off-grid and overlanding setups running small appliances and electronics
• Home & office backup for essential loads during load-shedding
• Anyone wanting clean, safe pure sine power for sensitive devices

FAQ

What can the 1000W inverter run?
Smaller appliances and electronics — laptops, TVs, lights, a small fridge, chargers — within 1000W continuous (2000W surge). We'll help you tally your loads.

What does the transfer switch do?
It automatically keeps connected essential loads powered when grid power drops, then switches back when it returns — a simple UPS function.

Is the output safe for sensitive electronics?
Yes — it's true pure sine wave 230V AC, suitable for laptops, TVs and other sensitive devices.
