All modern power inverters have a large capacitor bank at their DC input terminals to help provide smooth power conversion from DC to an AC sine wave and back to DC when charging the battery. The amount of DC capacitance is typically proportional to the inverter’s surge rating, which is typically proportional to the inverter’s size and cost.
Lots of people have thought of using capacitors on inverter DC input. It doesn't do any good because that's not how capacitors work. They don't produce power, they just 'borrow' it. There already are all the capacitors the inverter needs built in to the inverter.
When initially connecting a battery to an inverter’s capacitive DC input, there is an inrush of current as the input capacitance is charged up to the battery voltage.
During initial DC power connection to the inverter (a.k.a. cold start), the capacitor is in a discharged state and acts as a short circuit, until it accumulates some electric charge, which causes its voltage to rise.
Yes, like car audio where the battery size and wiring is limited by other constraints. but in general it will be more expensive than just adding batteries. Having the right batteries and wires is cheaper and works better too. Re: Has anyone thought of using capacitors between the inverter and battery?
The primary function of a capacitor in an inverter is to manage and optimize the flow of electrical energy. Key roles include: Voltage regulation: Inverter capacitor assist in maintaining a consistent voltage level, preventing fluctuations that could potentially harm connected devices.
