Modified or Pure Sine Wave Inverter?
A car inverter converts the vehicle's 12V DC battery power into 230V AC. The difference between the two main types is significant:
- Modified sine wave inverter – sufficient for laptops, phone chargers, LED lights and simple household appliances. Cheaper, but not compatible with sensitive electronics. (Extralink OPIM series, Green Cell INV modified sine wave range)
- Pure sine wave inverter – mandatory for medical equipment, hi-fi systems, compressor fridges, UPS units and all motor-driven devices. Delivers exactly the same power as a mains socket. (Extralink OPIP series, IVT SW/DSW series, Victron Phoenix, Green Cell INV pure sine wave range)

- ECO-WORTHY (2000W, 12V) – complete package with LCD display, battery cables and fuse included.
Which Power Rating Do You Need?
- 150–500W – laptop, phone charger, LED lighting; ideal for passenger cars
- 1000–2000W – power tools, coffee maker, microwave; for trucks and motorhomes
- 3000–6000W – fridge, air conditioning, pump; for solar off-grid systems and lorries
Important: always consider the device's start-up power, not just the rated consumption – motors can require up to 3x their rated power at start-up.

Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying an Inverter
What size inverter do I need for 12V to 230V?
The required power depends on the consumption of connected devices. For a single laptop or phone charger, 150–300W is sufficient (IVT SW-150, IVT SW-300, Extralink OPIP-300W). If you also want to run a microwave, coffee maker or power tool, choose a 1000–2000W 12V to 230V inverter (IVT DSW-1200, Extralink OPIP-1000W, Green Cell INV11). For motor-driven devices (fridge, pump), always base your choice on 2–3x the rated consumption to account for start-up power.
What is the difference between a 12V and 24V inverter?
A 12V inverter connects to the batteries of passenger cars, small motorhomes and boats – the most common type (IVT SW-600 12V, Extralink OPIP-2000W 12V, Green Cell INV09–INV22 12V range). A 24V inverter is designed for trucks, buses and larger solar systems – it works more efficiently at higher input voltage with lower losses at high power (IVT SW-600 24V, Extralink OPIM-2000W, Green Cell INV19–INV21 24V range).
When is a pure sine wave inverter absolutely necessary?
A pure sine wave inverter is mandatory for any device sensitive to waveform: medical equipment, CPAP machines, hi-fi amplifiers, compressor fridges, washing machines and all inverter-driven motors. For laptops and phones a modified sine wave is sufficient, but if in doubt, pure sine wave is always the safe choice. Pure sine wave models in our range: Victron Phoenix VE.Direct, IVT SW/DSW, Extralink OPIP, Green Cell pure sine wave range, ECO-WORTHY 2000W.
How do you connect a car inverter?
Lower-power models (150–300W) connect directly to the cigarette lighter socket (IVT SW-150, SW-300, Green Cell INV06). High-power car inverters (500W+) must connect directly to the battery terminals with heavy-gauge cable – the cigarette lighter socket cannot handle higher power. Victron Energy and IVT DSW models include the connection cable in the package.
What battery is needed for an inverter?
It depends on the inverter's power rating. For a 1000W inverter, at least 100Ah battery capacity is recommended to avoid rapid discharge. For solar and permanent installations, a LiFePO4 battery is the best pairing: lighter, longer-lasting and more tolerant of deep discharge than AGM or lead-acid. The Victron MultiPlus and MultiPlus-II series are natively compatible with LiFePO4 batteries. You'll find suitable batteries for both types in our range.
Is there a warranty on the inverters?
All our inverters carry a 2-year warranty. For Green Cell and IVT products the warranty is handled through the manufacturer; for Victron Energy devices an authorised service network is available in Hungary. Extralink and ECO-WORTHY products also carry a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
