The pods does not have an inverter, unless the new ones come with one?, it has a converter that converts 110v to 12v.
What are you trying to power?
I had a 1500/2000w hooked directly to the battery in my diesel truck (with two optima batteries) for running a saw and small tools in the field. Worked pretty well for half hour or so and then had to run the truck to keep it going. as long as the motor was running it was good.
I installed the 1500w inverter in the pod for a hair dryer, Watched the volt meter drop from 12.4 to 12.0 v in 4 minutes. running my truck helped some, but then I took the big inverter out, (we're camping, wear a hat!)
I now run the 1500w in my new truck (F150 1 battery) that I use for laptop charging but only when it's running.
I now use a generator when I need real power for charging the pod or A/C, (or the hair dryer).
like Tars says it's not real good for batteries, unless the inverter is small and you use it sparingly or have 2-6v golf cart batteries, they can take the punishment. But you still have to keep them charged.
