2.4.7 Appliances and Run Time
The CSW Series inverters can power a wide range of household appliances
including small motors, hair dryers, clocks, and other electrical devices. As
with any appliance using batteries for power, there is a certain length of
time that it can run—this is called “run time.” Table 2-3 below provides
estimates of power consumption and run time for various appliances using a
12V-120AH battery bank.
