Samlex SAM-800-12 Modified Sine Wave Inverter 12V 230V 800W

SKU CH-M7X3-4HT4M

Converts 12 VDC to 230 VAC at 50 Hz with modified sine wave output, soft-start technology, USB charging at 500 mA, and included 12V adapter plus battery clamps for remote AC power

  • Delivers 800 W continuous AC power from a 12 V vehicle outlet
  • Soft-start prevents shutdown when cold-starting motor-driven loads
  • USB port supplies 500 mA at 5 V for phones and small electronics
  • Load-controlled fan runs only when needed to save battery power
  • Multiple protections guard against short circuit, overload, voltage extremes and overheating

800 W Modified Sine Wave Inverter

The Samlex SAM-800-12 converts 12 VDC to 230 VAC at 50 Hz using modified sine wave output. It includes a 12 V adapter and battery clamps for connection through a vehicle outlet or directly to a battery. The unit supplies up to 800 W continuous power and features a USB charging port rated at 5 V and 500 mA. It suits users needing portable AC power for lights, a television up to 32 in., laptops, phones, cameras, small kitchen appliances and entertainment devices in remote locations.

Check Vehicle Outlet Rating Before Use

Verify that the 12 V vehicle outlet or battery circuit can supply the current required for the intended load without tripping its own protection. The inverter includes protection against short circuit, overload, low and high DC input voltages, over temperature and leakage. Soft start technology prevents shutdown from inrush current when cold-starting AC loads. Ensure the connected devices are compatible with modified sine wave output.

Load Controlled Fan Manages Thermals

A load controlled fan operates only when needed, saving power during low load conditions and reducing noise. Cool surface technology helps keep the exterior temperature down during extended operation. The lightweight aluminum enclosure measures 5 x 6 x 2 in. and weighs 2 lbs. The design is intended for sustained use with supported appliances rather than short bursts at maximum rating.

Questions about this item

Does the Samlex SAM-800-12 include cables for connecting to a vehicle battery, or must they be purchased separately?

The inverter comes with both a 12V adapter and battery clamps, so no additional cables are required for connection to a vehicle outlet or directly to a battery.

How do I decide between using the 12V adapter versus the battery clamps for this 800W inverter?

Use the 12V adapter for lower-power devices within the outlet’s current limit; connect the supplied clamps directly to the battery when running loads that approach the 800W continuous rating.

What does the 800W rating mean when I plug a television or blender into the 230V output?

The inverter delivers up to 800W continuous modified sine wave power at 230V 50Hz, with a 2× surge capability for brief startup peaks from motors or transformers.
