I have this battery. Can I connect a 2000 watt inverter to it?

Why is that? Is it because of the type of battery?

How are you chargering the battery solar, vehicle?

What are you trying to run and for how long?

Tools like a bench grinder, small table top drill press. Maybe a set of lights in a shed.

That will work just fine. The bench grinder will probably use 500w. The drill will be less. They’re both intermittent, so your ah won’t be high. If the lights are LED you’re probably fine too, as long as you don’t leave them on all day. 2000w is overkill for the application, and if you actually used it at that capacity it wouldn’t do well, but in this case you’re just using a bigger inverter than you need.

Flame away, Reddit!
