I have an Ionic 100aH LiFePO4 battery for my trolling motor but would also like to use this battery for some portable power when camping. This battery has a max discharge current of 100A so conceivably I can get 1200W out of it, although I would never pull anywhere near that much. I'm thinking maybe a 500 - 750w inverter?

 

I have an older 300W inverter with an annoyingly loud fan that runs no matter the current draw. I'm hoping to get a new inverter that doesn't have a fan kick on for light to moderate loads. Any suggestions for a suitable brand/model inverter?

There are lots of 12v appliances so why do you need an inverter?  If you're in the area I'll give you a 1000 w inverter.

Thank you for the generous offer but I'm pretty far away in Virginia

 

If you re still interested… what are you looking to run with it? I’d suggest you end about MSW vs PSW inverters, I went with PSW so it’d run the electric blanket when camping in the cold, yes I’m a wuss now that I’m older, also for the wife’s hair dryer. 
 

The size is determined by what you want to run and for how long, the hair dryer on low is 800 watts, my 1000w inverter will just barely run it.

 

Your batteries capacity will determine how long you can run. 
 

After a lot of reading I went with one of these PSW in the 1000w size, with 220 Ah of battery. https://www.magnum-dimensions.com/product-inverter/400w-12vdc-pure-sine-inverter-0

 

Originally I bought this little MSW 300w’er due to its quiet fan, which it is. Unfortunately I found MSW wouldn’t in the blanket and was way too small for the hair drier. Not a bad little unit. https://www.bestekdirect.com/300w-power-inverter
