The Renogy REGO 3000W 12V Pure Sine Wave High-Frequency Inverter Charger (RIV1230RCH-SPS) combines three functions in one 22.7 lb unit: a 3000W pure sine wave inverter, a 150A battery charger, and a 50A transfer switch — with split-phase 120/240V AC input support that sets it apart from standard single-phase inverter chargers. Per Renogy, inverter efficiency exceeds 92% and operating noise stays below 47dB.
Who This Is For
This unit is built for RVs and fifth-wheels on 50A split-phase hookups, off-grid systems fed by split-phase generators, and van or marine installs where the weight difference matters — at 22.7 lb, this high-frequency design weighs roughly a third of comparable transformer-based inverter chargers. If you plug into 50A/240V pedestals and want one box to pass power through, charge the bank fast, and invert when unplugged, this is that box.
Key Features

- Includes battery temperature sensor, voltage detection line, and wired remote control
Why Renogy
The REGO line is Renogy's flagship system family, with published manuals and specifications and app-based monitoring across components. Per Renogy, this unit carries a 5-year material and workmanship warranty — and buying from OffGrid Horizon, an authorized Renogy dealer, means that coverage is valid from your first day of ownership. It pairs well with a lithium bank such as the Renogy CORE 12V 300Ah self-heating battery.

What Split-Phase 120/240V Gets You
A 50A RV pedestal or a split-phase generator delivers two 120V legs that together provide 240V. A standard single-phase inverter charger can only use one leg. This REGO accepts the full split-phase 120/240VAC input, and per Renogy, 240VAC output is available when the unit is supplied by a split-phase 120/240VAC source — so 240V appliances stay usable while you are connected to shore power or a generator, and the 150A charger refills your bank at the same time. When you unplug, the inverter carries your 120V loads from the battery at up to 3000W. Renogy also notes the design manages simultaneous neutral grounding to address RV grounding issues.
Warranty & Support
Per Renogy, this inverter charger carries a 5-year material and workmanship warranty, with 1-year coverage on included accessories (see Renogy's warranty terms). OffGrid Horizon is a family-owned authorized Renogy dealer — call (302) 496-3554 for wiring questions, programming help, or warranty support.
Shipping
At 22.7 lb, this unit typically ships by ground parcel within the US. Inspect the carton on arrival and report any damage promptly. If it ships as part of a larger freight order on a pallet, inspect before signing the delivery receipt and note any damage on the receipt to keep your claim options intact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it output 240V from the batteries alone?
No. Per Renogy, 240VAC output is available only when the unit is supplied by a split-phase 120/240VAC source. Running on battery, it inverts up to 3000W at 120V.
What hookups can it use?
Split-phase input from 180–280VAC — such as a 50A/240V RV pedestal or split-phase generator — or single-phase input from 90–140VAC, such as an ordinary 120V connection.
How fast will it charge a lithium bank?
The charger delivers up to 150A (adjustable 5–150A in 5A steps) with a LI preset among its seven battery-type settings. A 300Ah lithium battery accepting 150A can go from empty toward full in roughly two hours of bulk charging — actual times depend on the battery's limits and charge profile.
Is the transfer fast enough to keep electronics running?
Per Renogy, transfer time is approximately 10ms, and in UPS mode the unit's self-consumption is supplied by shore power. Many electronics ride through a transfer of that length, but test your critical equipment.
How do I monitor and control it?
Built-in Bluetooth works with the Renogy DC Home app, a wired remote control is included, and the unit is compatible with Renogy ONE M1 and ONE Core displays.
Why is it so much lighter than other 3000W inverter chargers?
It uses a high-frequency design rather than a heavy low-frequency transformer, bringing the unit to 22.7 lb — relevant for wall-mounting in vans and boats.
What battery types does it support?
GEL, AGM, SLA, flooded (FLD), calcium (CAL), lithium (LI), and a USER-defined profile, per Renogy, with the included battery temperature sensor refining charge behavior.
