Why won my inverter work when I use a rechargeable Alkaline battery or an appliance with rechargeable AA or AAA batteries?
You may have trouble using a AA battery charger with any inverter due to the way the battery chargers draw energy. You will also find that a Pure Sine Wave Inverter is a better option for battery chargers due to the fact that there’s much less ‘noise’ interference compared to a modified sine wave inverter. This ‘noise’ can often wear away at the sensitive components in cheap battery chargers. The rechargeable batteries, recharging transformer and/or the 8Zed Inverter may be damaged when trying to recharge devices of 10 volts or higher. In most cases you can safely charge your laptop, mobile phone, cameras and cordless drills using a modified sine wave Inverter. For example, I can charge my Dell Laptop, my PDA mobile phone and my Black & Decker cordless drill via these power inverters. However, it is always a good idea to double-check your appliance’s manufacturer’s guidelines first. If they can’t be charged via a modified sine wave inverter, they will mention something similar to “Char
