Leyu provides DC to AC power inverters for converting battery or other DC power sources into AC electricity for off-grid systems, backup power, RVs, industrial equipment and mobile applications.
Our inverter range includes pure sine wave inverters, modified sine wave inverters, hybrid inverters and inverter chargers, with different DC input voltages, AC output voltages and power ratings available for different load requirements.
Depending on the model, Leyu inverters can support 12V, 24V or 48V DC battery systems and provide AC output suitable for regional electrical requirements.
Choose an inverter according to your battery voltage, continuous load power, startup surge, waveform requirement and application.
Choose the Right Type of Power Inverter
Different electrical loads require different inverter technologies.
Pure Sine Wave Inverter
A pure sine wave inverter produces an AC waveform designed to closely replicate utility power.
It is generally the preferred option for equipment that may be sensitive to waveform quality, including:
Leyu pure sine wave models are available across different power levels for 12V, 24V and selected 48V battery systems.

Modified Sine Wave Inverter
A modified sine wave inverter provides a stepped AC waveform and can be a practical solution for suitable general-purpose loads where pure sine output is not required.
It can be considered for compatible:
Lighting
Heating equipment
Basic appliances
Simple electrical tools
General backup loads
Load compatibility should always be checked before selecting a modified sine wave inverter, particularly for motors, compressors and sensitive electronics.

Hybrid Inverter
A hybrid inverter combines inverter functions with additional energy-management capabilities.
Depending on the model, functions may include:
Hybrid inverters are suitable for more integrated off-grid and solar energy systems where PV, battery and AC sources need to operate together.
Inverter with Charger
An inverter charger combines DC-to-AC inversion with battery charging capability.
During battery operation, it converts stored DC energy into AC power for connected loads. When an available AC source is connected, selected models can recharge the battery according to their charging configuration.
This type of inverter can be useful for:
Pure Sine Wave vs Modified Sine Wave Inverter
Feature | Pure Sine Wave Inverter | Modified Sine Wave Inverter |
|---|
AC Waveform | Smooth sine waveform | Stepped waveform |
Sensitive Electronics | Preferred | Compatibility should be checked |
Motors & Compressors | Generally better suited | Load-dependent |
Electrical Noise | Lower in suitable systems | May be higher |
Cost | Typically higher | Typically lower |
Best For | Sensitive and mixed loads | Compatible basic loads |
If you are unsure which waveform your equipment requires, check the appliance manufacturer's electrical specifications before selecting an inverter.
Choose an Inverter by Battery Voltage
12V Power Inverter
12V inverter systems are commonly used for:
Cars
RVs
Small backup systems
Portable power
Smaller off-grid systems
As power increases, 12V systems require increasingly high DC current, so cable size and battery capability become especially important.
24V Power Inverter
24V systems can be suitable for:
Compared with a similar 12V system, a 24V architecture can reduce DC current at the same power level.
48V Power Inverter
48V battery systems are commonly considered for higher-power applications because higher DC voltage can help reduce current on the battery side.
They may be suitable for:
How to Choose a Power Inverter
1. Confirm Battery Voltage
Choose an inverter designed for your battery system:
12V / 24V / 48V
Never connect an inverter to an incompatible DC voltage.
2. Calculate Continuous Load Power
Add the power consumption of all appliances expected to operate simultaneously.
3. Check Startup Surge
Motors, pumps, refrigerators and compressors may require substantially higher power during startup than during normal operation.
Select an inverter capable of supporting the required surge.
Choose pure sine wave when load compatibility or waveform quality is important.
Use modified sine wave only when the connected equipment is confirmed to be compatible.
5. Confirm AC Output
Verify the required:
according to the equipment and destination market.
6. Check Battery and Cable Capacity
Higher-power inverters can draw very high DC current.
Battery capacity, cable size, connection length and protection devices must therefore be considered together.
Typical Power Inverter Applications
Off-Grid Power Systems
Convert battery energy into usable AC power where utility electricity is unavailable.
RV & Mobile Power
Provide AC power from vehicle or auxiliary battery systems for suitable appliances and equipment.
Home Backup
Support selected household loads during temporary grid interruptions when the inverter and battery system are properly sized.
Solar Energy Systems
Inverters can form part of battery-based solar systems by converting stored DC electricity into AC power.
Industrial & Mobile Equipment
Suitable inverter models can support AC equipment installed on vehicles, mobile machinery or remote industrial sites.
FAQ
What does a power inverter do?
A power inverter converts DC electricity from a battery or other DC source into AC electricity for compatible electrical loads.
Should I choose a pure sine or modified sine wave inverter?
Choose pure sine wave for sensitive electronics, motor-driven equipment and applications where waveform quality is important. Modified sine wave can be used with compatible general-purpose loads.
What size inverter do I need?
Calculate the total continuous wattage of the connected equipment and check the highest startup surge. Select an inverter that supports both requirements.
Can I use a 12V inverter with a 24V battery?
No. The inverter's DC input voltage must match the battery-system voltage unless the product documentation specifically states otherwise.
Is rated power the same as peak power?
No. Rated power is the continuous output the inverter is designed to deliver, while peak or surge power is available temporarily for startup loads.
