TRIPP LITE RV1250ULHW PowerVerter RV Inverter/Charger

The TRIPP LITE RV1250ULHW is a hardwired 12V DC-to-120V AC inverter/charger for RV owners who want battery-powered AC, automatic transfer from shore power, and an integrated selectable 14A/55A battery charger; it provides 1250W continuous inverter output and up to 2500W for short startup loads.

Recommended For

• RV owners who want one hardwired unit to supply 120V AC from a 12V battery when off-grid, charge the battery on shore or generator power, and transfer automatically between AC and battery.
• Fleet, service-vehicle, and conversion-van operators who need permanently wired 120V AC for compatible tools, pumps, lighting, or computer equipment while away from outlets.
• Users building a stationary or remote-site backup setup who want a 12V-battery inverter, integrated charger, and automatic transfer for loads compatible with its transfer time and output.
• Owners of compatible wet-cell or gel battery banks who value selectable 14A/55A charging and want inverter and charging functions in a single installed unit.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• While camping without hookups, an RV owner can power selected hardwired AC loads—such as lights, device chargers, a TV, or a laptop—from the house battery; how long they run depends on battery capacity and total load.
• When the RV is connected to shore power or a compatible generator, the unit can pass AC power to connected equipment while charging the battery bank, so the RV can use external power and replenish its batteries through one installed system.
• If shore power drops or becomes unsuitable, an RV set up in Auto mode can switch connected loads to battery power; the brief transfer may interrupt devices that cannot tolerate a short power changeover.
• In a service van or other mobile work vehicle, the inverter can supply AC power for selected tools, portable lighting, or computer equipment away from outlets, provided the battery bank, wiring, and combined load are suitable.
• For an RV owner who wants selected outlets available from either shore power or the battery system, hardwiring the unit into the appropriate circuits can reduce the need to switch power sources manually; installation and circuit selection matter.
