1500W? At 12V that’s 125A - That is fucking dangerous! Most sockets are rated at 20A. Most inverters that are >300W use crocodile clips, or preferably screw-down terminal rings. The cable looks way too thin too. That’s a fire waiting to happen…

    It’s ok, that 1500 watt output is only for a microsecond before all the 3 cent “power” MOSFETs inside act as fuses.

    More likely, there is enough internal capacitance for the inverter to sustain one (1) half of a full-wave AC cycle at 1500W, after which the overload/low voltage cutout triggers.

      Haha! I reported it to ebay. Man that was a faff, there’s no category to report dangerous / lying listings. The chat system was crap too. I had to say “I want to speak to a human”, and it put me through.

        I reported it to ebay.

        Yeah, good luck with that, eBay has just become another Amazon/Walmart/AliExpress/TaoBao/AliBaba/Temu/Shein drop-shipped Chinese e-waste storefront. This kind of shit is their bread and butter.
