  Inverters are used to convert the direct-current (DC) electricity from a battery into alternating-current (AC) electricity that can then be used to power household devices.
Choose the wattage of your inverter based on the maximum wattage of your load. Make sure to consider surge currents if you are using devices that have high start-up currents, like motors or refrigerators.
Small inverters, less than 300 watts, usually have a car lighter type plug. Larger inverters will have wiring to connect to the battery terminals.
