3000 Watt 12 VDC Pure Sine Inverter Charger 120 VAC Output 100A Charger 30A Transfer Switch ETL Cert to UL458 Standards PICOGLF30W12V120V

So far so good. very easy installation, I didn't have any problems with the instructions. This is in a off grid log cabin. replacing a 1750w non pure sign inverter and separate charger/ transfer switch set up. The biggest complaint was if I would turn on a load the power would jump and give electronics grief. The new AIMS is a much cleaner set up being all in one. the charger works much better at keeping my big old Rolls battery's charged with less strain to the generator ( Honda EU3000i ) . I have no more power fluctuations turning on a load. I even tried running a concrete mixer 1700w? on the inverter no problems. My only complaint or suggestion would be I wish it would close the circuit for the line in to the line out when in the off position. So if something failed you could still run on the generator and it would pass though the inverter. here's hoping it lasts for a good long time.

While Victron is an obvious leader in this market, their units are expensive, and I couldn't be happier with my AIMS inverter/charger. I've installed this as a battery backup controller for my home furnace (controller+circulator pump), home network, and servers, and it has performed beautifully for four years. I periodically test it by cutting its power, we have lost power a number of times, and not even the computing equipment downstream has ever demonstrated evidence of any problems. In the low-price arena, the market is flooded with inverter/charger units that are clearly identical re-brandings of the same design from a mystery origin. While I will never trust those, I have absolutely no complaints about AIMS, and I have little doubt the unit will continue operating for a very long time.

This unit was recommended for my vintage RV, to charge a lithium battery and handle solar power input. It came in on time, well packaged, installed easily, works great AND Aims picks up the phone if you want information. Happy to recommend!

When plugged into shore power, which is most of the time, it allows only 15a output. This is way too little for this size inverter. It means the breaker pops at the slightest load and I have to go outside again and again to reset the breaker on the unit. It does charge and invert fine. Its UL458 compliant. It separates neutral and ground when plugged into shore power, so you can plug RV into GFI outlet. outlets. My old Freedom 1500 handled the loads in the motorhome quite easily. Never popped a breaker when plugged into shore power. Small Microwave, TV, refrig and some outlets. No problem. The AIMS 2000 popped breakers as soon as we turned on the microwave. So, obviously the AIMS 1500 is somehow lesser than the Freedom 1500. And this was on PASSTHRU, NOT on INVERTING. There is absolutely no reason for the AIMS to prematurely pop a breaker on passthru at all, let alone at too low a power draw. It happened on the AIMS 1500, so we returned it and bought the AIMS 2000 instead. It is doing the same thing. Huge inverter for 15a passthru and nearly worthless as a result.

I think this interter/charge is just what I need. However, it seems to have one issue I will be asking for some guidanace on. During two power interuptions at my house, the built in GFI recepticle reset itself (to the off /disconnected mode). Therefore it was unable to provide any power even after the utility power returned. Once this anomaly is resolved, I would rate the unit as 5 stars.

Had a problem with the unit (bypass circuit failed), had to ship it back and have it repaired. To Aims Power's credit, they covered the shipping back to them and for the return (which would have been about $50 each way). Stuff happens, not too worried about it. As far as The Inverter Store, they weren't much help. The price is low, however they just drop ship and never see the product, so the shipping is from Aims Power. They were more of hassle then a help--if I didn't go through Aims, The Inverter Store would have left me hanging for shipping. As far as the inverter itself, I'm mostly pleased. I'm using it in a fifth wheel RV application for various circuits which include a residential refrigerator. Most of the time it's just idling at about 6-8% of capacity to run the refrigerator and will keep everything running from place to place with minimal battery drain for an entire day of traveling, however that's with the minimal charging happening from the tow vehicle. I've run the setup with a heavier load for five hours on two 6 volt batteries in series, paralleled with 1 12 volt battery and only dropped about 1.5 volts overall. The charging function and transfer circuit work as advertised, and the remote panel gives enough information to be able to properly monitor what's happening. The only drawback that I see is the transfer/bypass function--the inverter has to be constantly powered on for the bypass to operate. If you shut off the inverter, the circuits powered by it do not get any power at all. That may be OK, however living full time in the RV with the refrigerator running constantly means the inverter is never shut off. I can't really say if that's a bad thing, and other than putting in a manual transfer function, I don't know what I would suggest as an improvement. We'll see how the long-term reliability is in the application.

Easy to install, easy to setup, excellent performance. Its passthrough mode is capable of seamlessly switching the power supply in milliseconds of a shore power failure without disrupting power to your devices.

So far so good, after few days of use.
