2000 watt inverter

[shearder]

Be careful of inverters a d unscrupulous dealers. Some inverters have a peak value and an operating constant which may be WELL below peak.
They will advertise 2000e inverter but constant is around 350w as an example

If I have a 24v setup already with 2 batteries in series but I need to add more batteries. Do I have to add in multiples of 2 or can I just add a third in parallel?

you would have to add another set of series in parallel

Working with 24V reduces the current needed on the DC side to supply the power needed. Suppose you need your power needs is 1000W, at 12V you are going to need 83amps to cater for the 1000w load, while at 24V it will be half the current. Working at lower current is safer.

So is 24v better or worse?
Its a lot to understand from my side,
All I want to do is power a pc, tv, server, modem for about 4-6 hrs if need be.
I would assume a 2000kva inverter would be ok but then would need at least 2 x batteries?

So next question is what details should one look for when purchasing the 2000kva inverter?

better.

24V imo is a sweet spot. you need a 1000VA - 2000VA unit. 2 batteries will be fine if they are 100AH and up.

Yes, 24V is better. The details to look, does it have a built in charger? You will need it to charge the battery.
Is it a pure sine wave or modified sine wave, pure sine wave is the preferred one.
Does it have an automatic switchover capability? Low battery switch off feature?

Maybe it will be better to post the inverter model you are interested in as we as the spec sheet.

Thanks a mil
That does help
