A Word About Whistler Power Inverters
Whistler inverters convert low voltage, direct current (DC)
to 110 volt alternating household current (AC). The AC output
is called “modified sine wave”. See “Technical Operating
Principles” section for more information. Depending on
the model and its rated capacity, Whistler inverters draw
power either from standard 12 volt automobile and marine
batteries or from portable high power 12 volt sources.
