The TCI Series is an early Gerixi range of compact modified sine wave battery inverters for backup and mobile power packages. The series covers lower-power models such as the TCI-350 and TCI-500 as well as higher-capacity TCI-1000 and TCI-1500 options. For distributors, the value of the range is its simple capacity ladder and the choice of DC input and AC output configurations for different markets.
Start with the load, not only the wattage label
A compact inverter should be selected from the real load list. The TCI-350 is rated at 350 W, while the TCI-500, TCI-1000 and TCI-1500 provide progressively higher continuous output ratings. The listed peak VA figure is not a guaranteed motor-start capability, so pumps, compressors, power tools and other demanding loads need a separate starting-current assessment.
Modified sine wave compatibility matters
The TCI range is specified with modified sine wave AC output. This can be suitable for battery backup packages using compatible lighting, chargers, basic office equipment and other verified loads. It should not be presented as a universal replacement for a pure sine wave inverter. Sensitive electronics, audio equipment, some motors and equipment with strict waveform requirements should be checked with the equipment manufacturer before a TCI model is selected.
Match the battery and destination configuration
- Confirm whether the supplied version uses 12 V, 24 V or another listed DC input.
- Select the required AC output voltage, frequency and socket configuration for the destination market.
- Size the battery cables, fuse and battery bank for the expected DC current and cable length.
- Allow for conversion losses and avoid treating the AC rating as the same as battery capacity.
- Review under-voltage, over-voltage, overload, short-circuit, over-temperature and reverse-polarity protection.
The TCI product information describes these units as battery inverters. They do not replace a solar charge controller and do not provide a direct PV charging function unless a specific model document says otherwise. In a solar backup kit, pair the inverter with a correctly matched battery, charging system and protection hardware.
A practical wholesale selection workflow
For a quotation, send the model or target output, battery voltage, AC voltage, frequency, socket type, load list, quantity and destination country. Gerixi can then confirm the exact available configuration, packaging or branding options, lead time and technical documents. This approach helps buyers compare TCI models by actual application instead of choosing only by the largest number on the label.
