Default Inverters

I saw some inverters at Canadian Tire but don't know if this is appropriate for pumps and powerheads.

One caution about using the larger invertors from Canadian Tire (I've got the 1000W one here) from a battery only, is the low voltage protection. The one I've got shuts itself off at 10.8 vdc which really isn't that low for a deep cycle RV battery. Believe they are more designed to operate attached to a vehicle, where the vehicle is running (converting the alternators output to 120vac).
