Your Source for Reliable AC Power
Bravo 1800s are reliable high performance inverters and inverter/chargers designed to provide the power you need to get the job done. Once connected to a battery, the 1800converts DC power into clean, quiet modified sine wave* AC power to operate tools, test equipment, and appliances.

Your Standby AC Power Source
Bravo 1800s can be installed as a standby AC power backup system when shore-power is available. When shore power is not available the inverter provides power to the AC loads from the batteries. After shore power returns, the 1800's automatic transfer switch reconnects the load back to shore power and the built-in battery charger automatically activates to recharge the batteries.

Your Source for Peak Battery Performance
Simply by plugging into shore power, the Bravo becomes a high performance automatic three-stage charger (80 amp/12 volt) ensuring your batteries will last and always be providing peak power. Efficient battery charging is achieved with three distinct charging modes. The Bravo 1800 continuously charges the batteries until they have equalized (Charge or Bulk mode) and then maintains their voltage until they are fully charged (Absorption mode); then it maintains the batteries at their correct voltage (Ready or Float mode) using minimal charging current. The charging current is adjustable; a High setting is Rated current and a Low setting is 1/2 Rated current.

Bravo Features Are Designed Smart Load Demand
Your Bravo inverter is engineered with user-selectable automatic load sensing. This turns on the inverter from the power saving mode when your AC load exceeds 5 watts, conserving your battery power.

Low Battery Cutoff
Your Bravo is designed smart-it knows to turn off automatically when the battery reaches 10.5 volts (21.0 volts on 24 volt units). This extends the life of your batteries by preventing over-discharging and ensuring your vehicle starts. Many times this feature eliminates the need for a battery isolator.

Automatic Inverter Protection Circuitry
You don't need to worry about the status of your inverter. The Bravo 1800 inverter is smart enough to sense an over-temperature or overload condition and turns itself off.

Inverter/Charger Status Lights
To make operation easy the 1800 inverter has up to six inverter/charger indicator lights to show you which function is in operation. So you'll always know what your inverter/charger system is doing.

Two Mounting Designs
We designed the Bravo 1800 in shelf and wall mount configurations to meet a variety of application needs. The wall mount version is available with an optional drip shield to provide additional environmental protection.

Optional Remote Panel
The 1800 is available with this optional remote panel (p/n D05034) allowing you to operate your inverter from convenient locations. The remote panel has an inverter on/off switch with indicator LEDs for inverter status, battery charge, and fault mode conditions.

Mobile Installations
We recommend always using deep cycle auxiliary RV/Marine/Golf cart batteries. A Bravo 1800 watt inverter under full load can require up to 170 amps 12V or 85 amps 24 Vdc. We suggest a minimum of 170 AH of 12 Vdc battery storage capacity on the vehicle to support inverter loads. If AC loads are large and operate in excess of one hour per day, a heavy duty alternator (100-130 amps +) is usually recommended. Most Bravo Units are Underwriters Laboratories Listed;
