Inverter upgrade to 2000w

[Jonesy68]

Hi guys now I have upgraded the LB to a bigger lithium seat base I'm now thinking of moving from my 1000w inverter to a 2000w.
I keep looking at the Renogy and that has dropped to £197 with a code on their site but I saw this on ebay which is obviously a wanna be Renogy but it doesn't look bad and it's only £120
Anyone had any experience with them?

I must admit to being uneasy about a make called 'Flamezum'. I would certainly go with Renogy.

The desription says it is a Renogy - so mabe it is a rebadged Renogy anyway?

Renogy don't white label there products. That will be a clone.

Stick with the original, new, from the renogy website.

I've been running the 1000w version inn the van for years.

The components in inverters get a serious amount of stress given the high currents. So any cutting of costs - quality of components, quantity and quality of copper used etc - will seriously impact reliability and safety. I'd also be thinking about after sales service with such units..

The desription says it is a Renogy

Where are you seeing that?
Edit- just seen it says Brand-Renogy in the 'about this item' but not the 'full description'. . Which is false and just another red flag.

There are links and adverts for Renogy on the same page and "other items like this one", there's even a link to the official Renogy store but nothing in the advert would lead me to think it was a Renogy.

If you don't want to set fire to your van buy the genuine article and sleep soundly.

Yes - all sounds a bit dodgy especially the name "Flamezum". There may be other misinformation as well. EG if it is not a pure sine wave (as stated) it will cause issues for some appliances etc.
I'd stick with a well known brand.

I recently bought a 3000W Renogy with a eBay code for £229. I wouldn’t mess around with anything unbranded.

Also you might need to check the cabling if you go bigger on the inverter too.
