I am re-wiring our boat and will be replacing just about everything. I am in need of a pure sine wave inverter to run variable speed tools and basically charge camera and tool batteries. We have a 1500 watt inverter currently but it is modified sine wave and does not run my variable speed tools well. It also does not charge rechargeable batteries well and the chargers never shut off which can tend to cook the batteries.
I don't need a honking inverter that can run surgical grade equipment just one good enough to allow my drill to actually start. I am looking at 1000 watt models and noticed Xantrex has just come out with a competitively priced "true" sine inverter. So just what is the difference between true sine and pure sine? I have done lots of reading but no one seems to give a good discernible answer to this?
I was wondering if any of you guys have spoken with Xantrex or others about this new line and if it is worth it? I am considering the Xantrex PROwatt SW 1000 Inverter or possibly even the 2000 but I would rarely need it for anything more than 1000 watts.
