What power inverter for husqvarna battery charger

[chrism3513]

As in the title really does anyone know how many watts are needed for an inverter to  charge husky batteries off 12v?

It will depend on the charger not the battery. The qc 330 charger is 330w so if that's what you have I would use a 500w invertor. Most battery chargers will be running at much lower wattage and charger slower.

Thanks for the reply. I haven’t got my set up yet but I think I’ll be getting  this charger

I’ve also seen husqvarna sell a 12v charger would it just be better to get that?

If husqvarna sell a 12v charger you're better off with that. You will end up spending around 200-400 on a decent inverter that won't set on fire or destroy the charger plus the wiring as it won't be a cigarette plug. For ease of use, get the 12v

Bare in mind how long it will take to charge, how far are you driving?

It will be wired in to a 180ah agm second battery so it can charge even with the engine off. The vehicle I’m getting is going to have a custom made canopy with a 1000w inverter

12v charger will be better and use less power than charging through an invertor. Although you may get quicker results with the big 500w 240v charger and have the benefit of using through a 240 plug too.
Make sure you get a pure sine wave inverter.
I have this 1000w invertor fitted in my van. Never had any problems with it and comes with remote on off switch

If you are already installing a secondary deep cycle, split charge system and inverter I would go with the 240v charger then. Just get a good quality inverter if you haven't already got one. I would suggest pure sine as it will be good quality (you tend not to get crap sine wave) and you will get more efficiency out of it!

Taking 500w out of a 180amp battery, how long will that last? 1.8 hours then it is fully discharged? So maybe charge one bli300 battery until the inverter cuts out?
