Hi Chuck,
First off, 12V * 100 A*hr = 1200 W*hr. But keep in mind that A*hr battery
ratings for a 100 A*hr battery is tested typical at 5 amps(or 0.05C
Richard,
My point is that one should not size an inverter relative a battery, but size
it to ones expected needs.Folks often mix up or misuse terminology.If
the maximum power consumed from an electric coffee pot is 1000 Watts. Then one
would need at least a 1kW inverter, but should

Inverters are sized to the expected loads.
Batteries are sized to how long you want to run
Paul, If I understand your point, it is that we shouldn't be relying on battery
power for any appliances or coffee pots...etc.; is there any alternative that
doesn't involve solar? thanks!

Hi Chuck,
First off, 12V * 100 A*hr = 1200 W*hr. But keep in mind that A*hr battery
ratings for a 100 A*hr battery is tested typical at 5 amps(or 0.05C). That is
your 100 A*hr is 5A * 20hr. At this rate the battery is only providing 12.5V *
5A = 63 Watts.At higher current loads, your
Touche' has a 1000 watt inverter. I don't run any sensitive electronics
from it, just the coffee maker and the Admiral's low wattage travel hair
dryer.
The unique thing about Touche's inverter system is that it can power all
the 120 AC receptacles throughout the boat. I have a rotary isolator
Inverters are sized to the expected loads.
Batteries are sized to how long you want to run those loads.
Example: My wife’s hair dryer on 500 watts is drawing about 50 amps. If she ran
it for an hour that would be 50 amp/hours, which would be all you can use out
of a 100AH battery. Thanks to
