Hardwire to the AC direct connect terminal for full-power loads, with front-panel monitoring and multi-layer fault protection built in.
The AIMS Power PWRINV500036W is a 5,000-watt modified sine wave power inverter built to convert 36-volt DC battery power into usable 120-volt AC household power. If your off-grid system, mobile setup, or heavy equipment runs on a 36-volt battery bank — common in golf carts, utility carts, and forklift-style battery packs — this inverter is sized to match that voltage for more efficient performance under heavy loads.
Every spec on this inverter is built around one goal: dependable AC power from a 36-volt battery bank, with the headroom and protection to handle real off-grid demands.
Run 5,000 watts continuously, with 10,000 watts of surge capability to ride through the momentary power spike when pumps, compressors, and other motor-driven equipment switch on.
Built to run from a 30 to 48V DC source, this inverter is sized for 36-volt battery banks — the kind used in golf carts, utility vehicles, and forklift-style battery packs — where the higher input voltage means less current draw and less voltage drop in your cables at the same wattage.
Each of the four AC outlets is rated for a maximum of 1,500 watts. To draw the inverter's full 5,000-watt capacity for a single large load, use the AC direct connect terminal to hardwire your equipment straight to the inverter.
Rated at 90% efficiency under full load and 95% efficiency at one-third load, so less of your battery's stored energy is lost as heat — more of what your battery holds actually reaches what you're running.
Four standard 3-prong AC outlets handle everyday plug-in loads, while the front-panel volt and amp meters let you check battery voltage and current draw at a glance — no separate monitor required.
Over-temperature and overload LED indicators, internal fuse protection, AC output short-circuit protection, and auto-reset on most fault conditions are paired with an aluminum case and a thermally controlled cooling fan to keep the unit running reliably.
The four AC outlets on this inverter are each rated for a maximum of 1,500 watts per the UL guidelines for the receptacle type — that's normal for any inverter with standard household outlets, and it's fine for running multiple smaller appliances and tools at once. But if you have a single large load — a well pump, an air compressor, a large shop tool, or similar equipment that draws close to or above the 5,000-watt continuous rating — you'll need to wire that load directly to the AC direct connect terminal block rather than plugging it into one of the front outlets. This lets you access the inverter's full continuous and surge capacity for a single circuit.

This inverter is designed for a 36-volt DC battery bank, with an operating input range of 30V to 48V DC.
No. Each of the four AC outlets is rated for a maximum of 1,500 watts. To use the inverter's full 5,000-watt continuous capacity for a single load, that equipment needs to be hardwired to the AC direct connect terminal.
This is a modified sine wave inverter with phase correction, suitable for most tools, pumps, motors, and general household appliances.
5,000 watts is the continuous output the inverter can sustain. 10,000 watts is the surge rating — short-term headroom for the brief power spike that occurs when motor-driven equipment like pumps or compressors first starts up.
Yes. The 36V input is intended for battery banks built from golf cart batteries, utility cart packs, or forklift-style battery banks wired in series to 36 volts.
It's rated at 90% efficiency under full load and 95% efficiency at one-third load.
The inverter sounds a low-voltage alarm at 31V ± 0.5V and shuts down at 28V ± 0.5V to protect your battery bank. On the high side, it has input voltage protection at 48V.
The PWRINV500036W carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering parts and labor from the date of purchase.
