Aims Power 1500 Watt Pure Sine Inverter Charger - ETL Listed - PICOGLF15W12V120V

AIMS Power 1500 Watt Pure Sine Low Frequency Inverter with built-in battery charger and transfer switch. This inverter charger is perfect for small-sized industrial applications that depend upon power being available even under heavy load. This heavy-duty inverter charger is ready to go wherever you need it. Use this product for renewable solar, off-grid home and business back up power, mobile and emergency backup power applications anywhere that uses 110 or 120 volts of alternating current.

This inverter is also great in a smaller RV or boat. If 1500 watts is not enough power, check out our full line of low frequency inverter chargers available in 12, 24 & 48 volt versions. This AIMS power inverter charger is capable of accepting any source of 120v AC power to charge batteries, including a gas or diesel generator or shore power at an RV park/truck stop. It will even accept power from an extension cord plugged into your wall outlet at home.

The 1500 watt inverter charger is capable of a 4500 watt surge for 20 seconds and can run at 1500 watts continuously. As an additional feature, this inverter is capable of being used worldwide by virtue of its auto frequency detection capabilities. It will run in any country that uses 120vac output. It works with type-A plugs or a direct 3-wire terminal connection. This inverter comes with a dual-plug GFCI outlet with a reset button. This inverter will never completely drain your batteries as it's low-voltage shut-down keeps the voltage at either 10 volts or 10.5 volts depending on your selection. With the battery priority mode, you can set your inverter to run directly off of a battery back-up system instead of a generator or tertiary source of AC Power. The inverter charger comes with a power saver mode that pulses every 30 seconds, attempting to detect a necessary load of 25 watts or more before it will turn on. Otherwise, the inverter will “sleep” and draw right around a half an amp per hour, saving you precious reserve power in your batteries until you need it.

An optional wired remote can be added for fast and easy operation if your inverter charger is mounted in a location that is inconvenient to get at. This allows the unit to be operated within the cab of a vehicle or from another location in the home or campsite.

Maintenance Tips  

• Install in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area to manage heat from both inverter and 50A charger during continuous operation.
• Keep air vents, fans, and heat sinks clean and dust-free to prevent overheating and charging faults.
• Regularly inspect 12V battery connections, DC cables, and fuses for tightness, corrosion, or heat damage.
• Use correctly sized heavy-gauge wiring to handle high DC current during 1500W loads and charging cycles.
• Monitor system indicators (load %, battery voltage, charging status, fault LEDs) to detect early issues.
• Ensure proper battery settings (AGM, lead-acid, lithium profiles) for correct multi-stage charging performance.
• Avoid exceeding 1500W continuous / 4500W surge capacity to protect internal MOSFET and transformer components.
• Periodically test the automatic transfer switch (≈10 ms transfer time) for reliable backup power switching.
• Check AC input (generator/shore power) quality; unstable input can affect charging behavior and efficiency.
• Re-torque AC and DC terminals during routine maintenance to prevent thermal loosening.
• Avoid moisture, vibration, and direct sunlight exposure, especially in RV or off-grid installations.
• Perform preventive maintenance every 3–6 months: fan cleaning, load testing, and connection inspection.
• Do not bypass protection systems (over-temp, overload, low/high voltage) as they safeguard internal electronics.
