Heavy-Duty 1250W Inverter Charger
The Tripp Lite PV1250FC converts 12V DC battery power into 120V AC electricity for demanding mobile or backup applications. It delivers 1250 watts of continuous output and handles momentary surges up to 2500 watts. The unit draws 127 amps at full load and only 2.2 amps at no load.
Suited for High-Draw 12V Systems
This inverter suits operators running large motor-driven appliances such as pumps, compressors or power tools from a 12V source. It is not intended for installations that require a different DC input voltage or a different AC output voltage.
1250 Watts Continuous Output
The continuous rating of 1250 watts determines which combination of appliances can run simultaneously without overload. Match the total running wattage of your connected equipment to this figure to ensure reliable operation.

Questions about this item
How do I connect the PV1250FC to a 12 V battery without exceeding the 127 A draw?
Use cables rated for at least 127 A and keep them as short as possible to minimise voltage drop; the inverter draws up to 127 A at full load and 2.2 A with no load, so undersized wiring will overheat and shut the unit down.
Which parts of the PV1250FC will need replacement after extended service?
The internal cooling fan and the DC-side fuse are the only serviceable items; the fan bearings wear over time and the fuse protects the 127 A input circuit, so plan to inspect both annually.
What limit appears first when the PV1250FC runs continuously at 1250 W?
The 127 A input current limit is reached first; sustaining 1250 W output requires the full 127 A from the 12 V source, so battery capacity and cable resistance become the practical constraints.
