Does anyone have docs or knowledge on HCIP-1000 Power Inverter. Has 1000w continuous 2000w peak. Has two switches near 240v power end. One switch says Charger. The other switch has Inverter labelled. Has mini fuse holder under switch. There is also a power lead coming off under switches with a PIN end on it. Is it an imbuilt battery charger or what. Confused.
John.

Not sure of that exact unit,
John, but inverter/chargers are popular with the boating industry for shore power applications. Some are compatible with Lithium batteries, others not (Victron sells a 2000W inverter charger - 80a charger - for around $2500 from memory). They are also used as UPS systems for computing/electronics.
A number of
inverters (Renogy for instance) allow connection to 240v for transferring power (automatic transfer to 240v when connected).
Good luck finding out what yours does! Highly likely it is a charger, but for what batteries, at what amperage?
Cheers,
Mark

Yes, an uninterupted power supply setup for instance. plug in a van park and it charges your battery, turn power off and it inverts 240 automatically
