Redi-Line Electric Super High Efficiency 1600 Watt Professional-Level Inverter

16 Years on ExPo. Whoa!!
Hi all,

This is a high efficiency inverter that's rated for 1600 amps at 120V and only consumes up to 15 amps maximum at 12V while producing it. This is enough to run a hair dryer or power tools and only consume 15 amps from your car while DC doing it. It's also designed for real heavy duty applications like a service vehicles or carpet cleaning van or other applications where you need a real 120 volts and do not want to use a generator - it's completely quiet and is also much smaller. This is also in their heaviest-duty category among all of the models they make. It is capable of taking surges (like a power tool starting) up to 2400 watts.

This would be ideal for a camper or a van or Earth Roamer or expedition vehicle where you have a real need for 120 volts and also need stone-solid reliability. It is a fairly recent model (I think only 2 or 3 years old) and is basically brand new (just a little dust on it) though it spent a couple years being very seldomly used in a service van before the van was sold. It has an automatic switch built in so it has zero power consumption until the 120V item is turned on. It is also designed to last "forever" with the only wear part being the long life brushes (so they might need to be replaced every 5-10 years or so when using regularly use) and the unit is designed to be completely serviceable with a nationwide network of dealers, much like a welding machine and Redi-Line is a very well respected company.

MSRP is about $2000. I acquired this through some trade and can't see any time in the foreseeable future that I'll need it so I'm basically taking any reasonable offers and open to possible trades as well (I hope that isn't too wishy washy). Things I'm looking for are about 10 HD fuel cans, a solid 29er hardtail single speed or geared in XL or XXL, a 8000+ winch, or other items, or cash.

Specs can be found here, and full power consumption info can be found here. I figure it's about 14" long and about 6-8" wide at most but it weighs about 30-40 lbs I figure (very heavy). I'm not sure which of the 3 heaviest-duties models they make but I can find out the next time I'll be at the shop (Thursday). I'm also happy to offer a money-back guarantee because I know it works perfectly.

Let me know if you have any questions! Photo of actual unit is attached. Google also has excellent results for this if you have more info. Just google Rediline 1600 watt Generator for complete specs and info.

I use redi-line generators and I am an electrical engineer you can not pull 1600 watts and input less that 300. These are a motor turning a generator on a common shaft ****** is around 70 percent on a good day. The big advantage to redi-line is they will take massive over loads without damage where solid state consumer inverter would burn out they just keep on trucking and are easy to repair ie put in a set of brushes.
There is no free lunch infact the ****** is lousy compared to solid state modified sine wave units I really hate people that do not know what they are talking about leave energeering to engineers.

To be fair, neither the page linked in the OP, nor the product manual states the amperage draw of the unit on the 12v side.

With a 1600wC/2400wS rating, the actual max draw could be 2400w / 12v = 200a. Taking into account efficiency as well as voltage drop as the batteries deplete - I would say the "1600w" unit should probably be wired and fused for a 250a supply on the 12v side.

The manual is here:
