AIMS Power 1500 Watt 12 VDC Pure Sine Inverter Charger w/4500W Surge
Pure Sine Power for On and Off Grid use
The AIMS 1500 watt low frequency inverter charger is perfect for most off grid systems, semi-trucks, 5th wheels, toy haulers or any remote location needing power. Providing 1500 watts of continuous, clean and reliable pure sine wave power, ideal for sensitive electronics and household appliances. If needed, this inverter has the capability of producing 4500 watts of total surge power for 20 seconds, for start up applications like refrigerators, computers, fans and microwaves (if running more than 4500 watt often, we strongly recommend purchasing a larger inverter).
This inverter boasts a 50 amp charger and automatic transfer switch. For use with shore power or generator power to recharge your batteries or as a back-up for your sump pump, medical equipment, lighting system or security and surveillance system.
The AIMS PICOGLF Inverter Chargers are Marine, Military and Industrial grade.
Pure Sine Power for all of your devices
Pure Sine Inverters have a cleaner signal compared to Modified Sine that have a 'blocky' signal. Pure sine wave is like the power you get from your local power company and from some pure sine generators (most generators are not pure sine).
A major advantage of a pure sine wave inverter is that all of the equipment which is sold on the market is designed for a pure sine wave. This guarantees that the equipment will work to its full specifications.
Some appliances, such as LED lights and microwave ovens will only produce full output with pure sine wave power.
Audio equipment, satellite systems, and video equipment, will run properly using pure sine wave inverters.
Pure Sine Wave Inverters outperform all other types of inverters, regardless of use.

---|---|---|---|
Optional Features* Remote on/off switch with lcd for aims pure sine inverter chargers - The remote monitors battery voltage, AC input voltage, AC output voltage, frequency and load percentage. The remote can be flush mounted into a dash, job box or anywhere for quick access to key information. (Part # Remotelf) * Battery temperature sensor - This allows careful monitoring of the batteries for extended life and longevity. The sensor plugs into the inverter and the other end is attached to the battery(s) and provides battery temperature information (Part # PICGLFBATS) * Auto generator start - The inverter can be customized to start-up a generator when the battery voltage goes low. When the inverter goes to low battery alarm, it can send a signal to start a generator. The auto gen start feature will only work with generators designed to work with this feature. |
Battery ChargerThe AIMS Power 1500 Watt 12 VDC Pure Sine Inverter Charger w/4500W Surge is equipped with a powerful 4-step smart charger capable of charging at 50 Amps. The built in battery selector for this inverter works with Gel USA, AGM 1, AGM 2, Sealed Lead Acid, Gel EURO, and Open Lead Acid battery types. The max charge current can be adjusted from 0%-100% via a liner switch to the right of the battery type selector. This will be helpful if you are using our powerful charger on a small capacity battery bank. Choosing '0' in the battery type selector will disable the charging function. |
Automatic Transfer SwitchThis inverter comes installed with an automatic transfer switch which will quickly transfer you to back up power in case of a power outage without you having to flip a switch. (10 ms max transfer time) When utility AC power cuts off (or falls out of acceptable range), the transfer relay is de-energized and the load is automatically transferred to Inverter mode. Once the qualified AC power is restored the relay is re-energized and the load is automatically reconnected to AC bypass mode. |
Easy Set Up and Technical SupportEasy to set up and use. This inverter comes with an easy to follow manual. Additionally, all customers who buy from an authorized AIMS dealer can contact the AIMS technical support team directly for any questions during set up. AIMS Power will only warranty and provide technical support for products purchased through an authorized AIMS Power Dealer. Not every Amazon seller is an authorized AIMS Dealer. Make good purchasing decisions. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I called aims customer service and they helped me realize that the battery voltage was dropping too low during the refrigerator inrush as the motor started.
I put a separate charger on my batteries as a test and this unit runs great! Now to get new batteries.
So not only a good unit but very helpful customer service. (they are hard to get on the phone but answered email right away)
My setup is as follows in my mobile service truck- 9 group 31 batteries (each is 950 cold cranking amps, not positive of the amp hour rating though) hooked up to my service truck's charging system... so essentially, the batteries are being charged whenever the truck is on. From there, I have 4/0 battery cable going from the batteries to the inverter, and from the inverter, I have 12awg wiring feeding my a/c grid in the truck. Now, this inverter has been able to run the following, not all at the same time of course, but none the less:
- Air compressor
- Vacuum pump
- 3/4 hp oil pump
- 4 Fluorescent light fixtures (256 watt total)
- Microwave
- Electric tank band heater (draws 1500 watts)
- Electric heat gun (1000 watt)
- Electric grinder
- Recovery Machine
-.... on and on...
The air compressor was my biggest concern, as it takes a huge surge to start it up. The air compressor spikes at 152 amps (18,240 watts) only for split second upon startup, then comes right down to about 13 amps (1560 watts). I am surprised this inverter can handle that. I have not had one issue as of yet.
Basically, this inverter can run everything in my truck. Very very impressed. Now, you can have everything on at once, nor do I need to, but this inverter can certainly pull it's weight and it useful per it's rated output. I also think that because this is a pure sine wave inverter, everthing runs quieter and smoother. With a modified sine wave inverter, I would notice some humming coming from the electrical devices, to the point where I was concerned about damaging the devices.
Also, this inverter has a built in "standby mode". Which means that the inverter will have very minimal draw (25w) until an electrical load is detected, which then "wakes up" the inverter and it starts putting out power. After you turn all loads off, it goes back into standby. Very impressed with that feature too. At the beginning of the day, I'll switch on the lights (takes a couple seconds for the inverter to recognize the load), then the inverter starts up and runs no problem. At the end of the day, I turn the lights off, and the inverter shuts off. Perfect.
I have not checked out the charger aspect of this inverter yet. Like I mentioned, this setup is on my truck, so the batteries are always being charged. Sounds like a good idea though.
Overall, if you have a good battery bank and good size cabling, you should not have any problems with this unit. Again, I have only had this a week, but it has blown me away with how well it performs. If anything should change, I'll be sure to update this review. Hope this was helpful.
We live off-grid, in a low-footprint model. This device was intended to serve our power needs, but also charge our batteries with a generator, if the sun vanished for a few days - which, living in the sticks of the East Coast of Canada, it does.
I have developed the same issues as other AIMS models (I thought I had done my research, but alas): it overheats, and cannot generate any notable power without shutting down.
The first issue came about a year ago, when the fan simply died. Fortunately, I had access to a spare computer, and was able to install a new fan. Then in August of this year, I tried out an induction element, which draws a max of 1,200 watts. At the time, the fan came on, and stayed on all the time - which, given that we live in 500 square feet makes for a bit of noise.
Last week, the inverter overheated and shut down, while in the generator mode. The negative terminal now grows incredibly toasty at the slightest application of power, either charging or discharging.
Today, it overheated and shut down twice: it now can't even handle a 250 watt crockpot.
DO NOT BUY. I spent $800 CDN on a piece of junk that gives out about as much power now as an old 300w Morningstar. Should have gone with an Outback or Xantrex. My old Prosine could power the woodsplitter without issues, this thing shuts down instantly.
As a guy with a fair bit of electrical savvy, I have replaced the fan myself (again). However, I expect it to last about a year or so, before it bakes again.
Oh, and a further update:: the plastic bridge that allows hard-wiring has melted, and the customer service department has ignored any queries. Again.
