Which inverter - charging e-scooter

[Glas Robin]

I’ve got an electric scooter (Xiaomi M365, great for final mile commuting and thinking of using when away in the van too); and thinking about getting a couple more for the Memsahib and gene puddle.

We’ve plans to be off grid at times, and plans for a second leisure battery and solar panels are in the pipeline.

I’d like to be able to occasionally charge the scoots when not on EHU, using an inverter. I’ve done the calcs and reckon a 1000w should do the trick to top them up, rather than a full recharge which we’d wait for EHU (or if this was a problem I may put in bigger batteries/panels.)

Question is, 1000w pure sine inverters vary in price from about 40 quid to much much more... do you get much more for the extra cash or is a cheaper one fine for my needs?

Thanks.

Never heard of salt batteries ... interesting:

Yup, useful for fish-n-chip emergencies too .

Off-gridding these days apears to be ridiculously easy compared to just a few years ago, at least for houses!
