Issues and Solutions to the Modified Sine Wave Inverter

[swanneemtb]

We recently went on our first overlanding trip in our Taco. Its a 2024 TRD Off Road. I have a Jackery E 1000 V2 power station and a ICECO 60 e-cooler. The problem we immediately ran into was charging the Jackery from the 120V outlet in the rear of the truck bed. What we found out is that the Jackery doesn't like the modified sine wave of the Taco inverter. My question is this if...or if anyone has tried it and/or has a better solution: for a quick fix, we read that the Jackery does pretty well with a 12 volt DC input to charge it, so I bought a $30 adapter to try vs buying a $200 + pure sine wave inverter to wire to the battery. Has anyone out their run into this issue and if so, what was your solution? Thanks. (also, if you did use a pure sine wave inverter, what type and size did you choose...I'm just wondering as I can't see the need for much more wattage than that needed to charge the Jackery)

If you dont need a large inverter, I keep one of these in each vehicle, only $40.
