I am looking to put an inverter on my 25' Doral pocket cruiser. I'll primarily use the inverter to run a 21" LED TV and also to power an HD antenna (when on the hook). The TV is 30watt consumption and the TV antenna i'm sure is significantly less but am unsure exactly.
I would be powering the inverter with a deep cycle 210 min reserve interstate marine battery - I also have a second 1000 cranking battery isolated for engine starts (single screw). I am aware of the fact that a pure sine wave inverter is 'better' in that it more accurately replicates pure AC, but my question is:
1.) is a pure sine wave necessary for the application i'll be using? I've read that a mod. wave can exhibit a grainy or snowy appearance on the tv... or is this such a subtle difference one could hardly notice? Anyone have experience here?
Thanks.
