It is a high-capacity, all-in-one power solution designed for demanding systems. It combines a massive 3200W Pure Sine Wave Inverter with an extremely fast 2200W AC Battery Charger. It intelligently manages power between the 12V battery bank, 230V shore power, and high-demand AC appliances like air conditioners, induction cooktops, and power tools, all within a single compact unit.

The 3200W model is designed for larger systems with higher power demands. The key differences are:

• Higher Inverter Output: 3200W continuous (vs 2200W) to run more powerful appliances.
• Higher Surge Capacity: 6400W (vs 4400W) for starting devices with large motors.
• Faster AC Charging: Up to 2200W / 172A (vs 800W / 62A) for rapidly charging large battery banks.
• 15A AC Input: Requires a 15A shore power connection to utilise its full output capability.

Yes. The 3200W Bi-Directional Inverter has integrated Bluetooth connectivity. You can monitor and configure the unit using the KA Charge smartphone app, available for both iOS and Android devices.

This is a key feature of the bi-directional design. When running on shore power, the unit intelligently prioritises supplying power to your connected AC appliances first. Any remaining power capacity from the AC input is then used to charge your battery. This ensures your essential equipment keeps running smoothly without nuisance trips, even if the shore power supply is limited.

Yes, the optional KickAss Smart LCD Remote Switch is compatible with this model. It allows you to conveniently turn the inverter on and off, view the total output power, and check the charging status via LED indicators from a different location within your vehicle or setup.

Below are the key technical specifications for the 3200W Bi-Directional Inverter.

The 3200W Bi-Directional Inverter is designed with comprehensive protection features for safety and reliability:

• Integrated RCBO: Provides combined Residual Current (earth leakage) and Overcurrent (overload/short-circuit) protection.
• DC Protection: Protects against battery under-voltage, over-voltage, and reverse polarity.
• AC Protection: Protects against overload, short-circuits, and AC under/over-voltage.
• Thermal Protection: Shuts down if operating temperature is too high or too low.

With 3200W of continuous power, this unit can run a wide range of high-demand 230V appliances, including:

• Caravan air conditioners
• Induction cooktops and microwave ovens
• Coffee machines
• Power tools (drills, grinders, saws)
• Water pumps and air compressors
• Electronics, such as laptops and Starlink systems

Note: Check each appliance's running and startup power requirements to ensure they are within the inverter's capacity. Appliances with high startup power may exceed the inverter's surge limit of 6400W.

Adequate ventilation is essential because the unit generates heat during operation, particularly under heavy loads or during fast charging. Install the inverter in a well-ventilated location with sufficient airflow around the cooling vents to prevent overheating.

Important: Never operate the unit in a sealed compartment or block or cover its cooling vents.

For portable, plug-and-play use (connecting via the supplied AC and DC leads), a licensed electrician is not required. However, any fixed or hardwired AC installation into a vehicle, caravan, or building MUST be carried out by a licensed electrician to comply with Australian wiring standards (e.g., AS/NZS 3000 & 3001).

The 3200W Bi-Directional Inverter requires a higher AC input to support its 2200W Fast Charge mode and 3200W AC output capability. It comes with a 15A AC input cable and plug, which must be connected to a compatible 15A power outlet.

Yes, you can use the 3200W Bi-Directional Inverter with a 10A mains socket; however, you will require a 15A-to-10A adapter, such as the KickAss15A to 10A Adapter. Please note, this will limit your output and charging capability. 

Important: You need to be sure not to overload the 10A circuit. If utilising the inverter, keep output below 2300W. Additionally, attempting to use Fast Charge on a 10A circuit will likely trip the circuit breaker on the adapter if you are operating AC appliances at the same time.

Follow these steps:

1. Confirm the unit is switched on.
2. Check that the battery is connected correctly and its voltage is within the operating range (10.5V-15V). A flat battery will cause a low-voltage shutdown.
3. Ensure your connected appliance load does not exceed the 3200W rating.
4. Check if a protection feature has triggered (e.g., overload, over-temperature). If so, remove the fault condition (e.g., reduce the load, improve ventilation) and restart the unit.

Please check the following:

1. Ensure the 15A AC shore power lead is securely connected and the power source is active.
2. Verify the incoming AC voltage is within the required range (196–264 VAC).
3. Open the KA Charge app and confirm that the correct battery chemistry and a charging mode (Fast/Slow) are selected.
4. Check the Input Circuit Breaker Reset Switch on the unit and reset it if necessary.
5. Remove some AC load, as you may be consuming to much 230V power to run the charger function.
