Sentera PHX - Recommendations for Power Inverter to Charge PHX Batteries

FAQ: Can the PHX battery charge from the cigarette lighter in my vehicle? 

 

Charging through a cigarette lighter will not provide the wattage required to charge a PHX battery in most cases. We recommend, at minimum, 300-watt pure sine inverter that can be connected directly to the car battery terminals.


Keep in mind if you want to charge one PHX battery at a time, the 300 Watt will be sufficient. If you intend to run two chargers, you will need the 500 watt AND hook directly to the car battery.


Note: Most retailers do not carry sine wave technology inverters, so it is suggested to purchase from Amazon.


To run two chargers, purchase the 500-watt adapter and connect directly to the car battery terminals. Purchase from Amazon, BESTEK 500 Watt Pure   Sine Wave Power Inverter:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082MDRC64/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
