Go Power Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger - 3,000 Watts - 100 Amps - 12V - 34275013

Question:

Hi - i bought the inverter make/model listed in the subject line. I just noticed it says 12v, and Im going to have a bank of 4, 6v batteries. Will this inverter work fine with the 6v batteries or is there a different model I have to get for a 6v bank? I kind of thought they were interchangeable but wanted to be sure. Thank you.

If you have your four 6-volt batteries wired in parallel, then they present as one big 6-volt battery. If you have your four 6-volt batteries wired in series, then they present as one big 12-volt battery. Connect the batteries in series and you can use this inverter. This is a common practice.
