A compact, no-frills 12-volt inverter built to run tools, appliances, and essential equipment from any standard 12V DC source.
The AIMS Power 1000 Watt 12V Modified Sine Power Inverter is a straightforward, economical solution for converting 12-volt DC battery power into 120-volt AC electricity. With 1000 watts of continuous output, a 2000-watt surge capacity, two AC receptacles, and a compact form factor weighing just 3.2 lbs, this inverter is built for RVs, boats, off-grid cabins, smaller solar setups, and mobile work applications. It operates from any standard 12V battery or vehicle system within the 10–15V range, making it compatible with most automotive, marine, and RV power systems without modification. Modified sine wave output supports most common tools, pumps, motors, and appliances. If your equipment requires pure sine wave power, AIMS Power offers dedicated pure sine wave inverter options.
Purpose-built for mobile and off-grid power needs, this AIMS Power inverter delivers proven output, 200% surge headroom for motor startups, and a full suite of built-in protections — all in a package light enough to fit anywhere.
Delivers 1000 watts continuously with 2000 watts of surge capacity to handle the higher startup draw of motors, pumps, and power tools without tripping the inverter.
Two standard AC receptacles let you connect multiple devices at once, adding flexibility for field use, mobile offices, or multi-tool job sites.
At just 3.2 lbs and 11" × 5.25" × 3.25", this inverter fits easily into a truck cab, RV compartment, boat console, or a tight off-grid installation space.
Rated at greater than 90% efficiency, this inverter draws less from your battery bank per watt delivered — a practical advantage in solar setups and limited-capacity systems.
Overload protection, over-temperature alarm and shutdown, AC output short circuit protection, and auto reset on most fault conditions reduce downtime and protect connected equipment.
Runs from any 12V DC source within the 10–15V operating range, including standard vehicle, RV, marine, and battery bank systems — no vehicle modifications required.
This inverter produces a modified sine wave, which works with most common tools, pumps, motors, battery chargers, and standard appliances. It is an economical and widely used output format for everyday AC loads. However, some sensitive electronics, variable speed motors, and select medical or audio equipment perform best — or may only function correctly — with a pure sine wave. Always verify your equipment's power requirements before connecting. AIMS Power offers pure sine wave inverter options for applications that demand that output quality.
This inverter runs directly from a standard 12V vehicle electrical system with no modifications required, making it a practical choice for mobile contractors, lawn-care operators, food-service vehicles, and construction crews who need on-demand AC power without a separate generator. The low no-load draw of 0.6A helps preserve battery charge when no load is actively connected, which matters on longer workdays or during overnight parked use.
A green LED confirms the inverter is powered on and operating normally. A red LED activates to signal an overload condition. An internal cooling fan manages operating temperature, and the over-temperature protection system triggers an alarm and automatic shutdown if the unit reaches 55°C ± 5°C, protecting both the inverter and any connected equipment from heat-related damage.

Contact Us for a QuoteYes. This inverter is designed to operate from any standard 12V DC source within the 10–15V operating range, which covers most automotive, RV, and marine electrical systems. No modifications to the vehicle's standard power system are required. You will need appropriate DC connection cables and a properly rated inline fuse, which are sold separately.
Modified sine wave output is compatible with most standard tools, pumps, motors, lighting, battery chargers, and common appliances. It is generally not recommended for sensitive electronics, certain audio equipment, some variable speed tools, or select medical devices that require pure sine wave power. Always check your equipment's specifications before connecting.
Many motors, pumps, and power tools draw significantly more power at startup than they do during normal operation. The 2000-watt surge capacity allows this inverter to handle those brief high-draw startup moments without shutting down, as long as the continuous load returns to within the 1000-watt rating once the equipment is running.
Built-in over-temperature protection triggers an alarm and automatic shutdown if operating temperature reaches 55°C ± 5°C. Overload protection and AC output short circuit protection are also included. The unit features auto reset on most fault conditions, allowing it to resume operation once the fault clears without requiring manual intervention in most cases.
No. The unit ships with the inverter and an instruction manual. DC connection cables, inline fuse kits, and batteries are sold separately. AIMS Power offers compatible cables and accessories on their website.
