Aims Power 2000 Watt 12V Pure Sine Inverter Charger - PICOGLF20W12V120VR

Aims Power 2000 Watt 12V Pure Sine Inverter Charger - PICOGLF20W12V120VR

The 2000 watt 12 volt low frequency AIMS Power inverter charger transforms DC (direct current) power, stored by batteries, into AC (alternating current) electricity that can be used to run most all tools and appliances. This inverter also has a built in AC-to-DC battery converter charger and transfer switch, which allows users to recharge their battery bank from an AC source such as a fuel-powered generator, shore power or a regular outlet at home.

This inverter is also available in 24 and 48 volt models. The 2000 watt 24 volt Pure Sine Inverter Charger and 2000 watt 48 volt Pure Sine Inverter Charger are in stock and ready for same-day shipping as well.

Use this product for renewable solar, off-grid home and business, mobile and emergency backup power applications anywhere that uses 110 or 120 volts of alternating current. This product also has auto frequency detection that allows users to operate at either 50 or 60 hertz.

It boasts an average 10 millisecond transfer time with the built-in transfer switch. This is an awesome feature for use with backup power applications, as it makes the inverter a nearly uninterrupted power supply (UPS) when combined with a battery bank.

It’s an industrial-grade unit with the ability to withstand surges of up to 6000 watts for 20 seconds, and  it achieves this by virtue of its direct connect terminal block. This feature is one of the more sought-after in the inverter industry, allowing users to surpass the 1,500 watt maximum output of a GFCI outlet that would typically be seen on an inverter.

This inverter also features a battery-type selector, which helps user regulate the voltage going into the battery bank. This capability can be a big money-saver since treating the battery bank properly will maximize its lifespan.

Use this inverter to power tools on a work truck, as it will run most electric chainsaws, portable grinders, shop vacs, and more.  Or use it to power appliances in your RV, as it won’t produce any annoying noise or pollution.  

A low frequency label has been given to this inverter because of the heavy-duty transformer that provides a lowered level of total harmonic distortion (THD) (when compared to modified sine) produced during the DC-to-AC inversion process. This allows for a cleaner transfer of energy, which increases efficiency. It also provides a quieter, nearly inaudible performance.

The inverter also has conformal-coated (marine-coated) boards, making it marine-grade and resistant to dust and/or water vapor that may travel through the air and could otherwise be damaging to the unit. This feature is great for boating applications, like powering a stereo system, for instance.

Check out the 4000 watt low frequency AIMS Power inverter charger for a comparable unit that can handle the startup surges (up to 12,000 watts for 20 seconds) of tools with larger electrical requirements, such as an air compressor.

As with all AIMS Power inverters, the PICOGLF20W12V120V is covered under a 30-day money back guarantee as well as a one year manufacturer’s warranty and free technical support.

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 heat sinks clean and dust-free to maintain efficient cooling and prevent thermal shutdown.
• Regularly inspect 12V battery bank cables, fuses, and terminals; tighten connections and remove corrosion buildup.
• Use properly sized heavy-gauge DC wiring to reduce voltage drop and prevent overheating under 2000W load conditions.
• Monitor battery voltage and avoid operating outside the safe range (low-voltage cutoff around ~10V–10.5V typical).
• Do not exceed 2000W continuous / ~6000W surge (short-duration motor start loads) to protect internal components.
• Ensure correct battery type settings (AGM, flooded, lithium where supported) for proper multi-stage charging behavior.
• Periodically test transfer switch function (~10 ms switching) to ensure reliable backup power operation.
• Check AC input (generator/grid) stability; poor waveform quality can reduce charging performance or trigger protective throttling.
• Re-torque AC and DC terminals during scheduled maintenance to prevent heat buildup from loose connections.
• Avoid moisture, vibration, and direct sunlight—especially in RV, marine, or off-grid installations.
• Perform routine load tests every 3–6 months to confirm stable pure sine output and early fault detection.
