Aims Power 1500 Watt 12V Pure Sine Inverter Charger - PICOGLF15W12V120VR

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 cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to manage heat from both inverter and built-in charger.
• Keep fans, vents, and internal heat sinks clean; dust buildup can quickly reduce charging and inverter efficiency.
• Regularly inspect 12V battery bank connections, fuse protection, and DC cables for tightness, corrosion, and heat marks.
• Use correctly sized heavy-gauge wiring to handle high DC current during 1500W operation and 50A charging cycles.
• Monitor battery voltage (typical safe range ~10–16V) to prevent low-voltage shutdowns or overcharge stress.
• Ensure correct battery type settings (AGM, lead-acid, lithium LiFePO₄) so the multi-stage charger operates properly.
• Avoid exceeding 1500W continuous / 4500W surge capacity, especially with motor or compressor loads.
• Periodically test transfer switch and AC input source (generator/shore power) for stable switching performance (~10ms transfer time).
• Check for loose torque on AC terminals and DC lugs, as thermal cycling can gradually loosen connections.
• Avoid moisture, vibration, and direct sunlight exposure—especially in RV, marine, or off-grid installs.
• Run occasional load tests to confirm stable pure sine output and early fault detection.
• Do not bypass protection systems (over-temp, overload, low/high voltage) as they safeguard internal MOSFET and charger circuits.
