Yeah, inverters are pretty inefficient too. I've got a 12v battery and I power some stuff directly, and then a couple things from a 12v->5v buck converter. So

Yeah, inverters are pretty inefficient too. I've got a 12v battery and I power some stuff directly, and then a couple things from a 12v->5v buck converter. So far so good, even though the applications are limited. My setup is ultra-humble though lol (I don't even have a solar charge controller yet!)
