An overview of the TARA Sync inverter series
The inverter becomes the heart of your electrical system when you need more than just lights while traveling; you also want to use a coffee maker, chargers, or other 230V devices. It ensures that a stable 230V voltage is generated from the vehicle's battery – just like you're used to at home.
The TARA Sync series from WATTSTUNDE was specifically developed for use in campervans, vans, and motorhomes. The goal is a constant and clean 230V power supply – regardless of whether you're parked at a campsite or traveling off-grid. The devices are compact, powerful, and easily integrated into existing on-board electrical systems.
Advantages and reliable 230V power in everyday camper life
The inverters in the TARA Sync series combine several features that are crucial in daily use:
- Compact, flat design – ideal for limited installation space
- Pure sine wave – perfect for sensitive electronic devices, as the generated voltage corresponds to the mains voltage at home, allowing sensitive technology such as chargers, laptops or medical devices to be operated reliably and without interference.
- Stable 230V system – reliable voltage during operation
- High performance – even for more demanding consumers
- Quiet fan technology – barely noticeable in the living space
- Integrated Sleep Mode – automatic reduction of power consumption when not in use for more efficient use of battery capacity and longer standby times
- Soft start technology – reduces inrush currents when starting the device, thus providing additional protection for the battery.
An inverter converts the 12V on-board voltage from the battery into the standard 230V household voltage. TARA Sync devices are designed for 12V electrical systems and rely on a clean and constant conversion using a pure sine wave. The result is a stable voltage that reliably powers both simple appliances and sensitive electronics.
Pure sine wave vs. modified sine wave – the crucial difference
Not every inverter produces the same power quality. Devices with a modified sine wave deliver a simplified, technically coarser voltage waveform. This may be sufficient for simple appliances, but sensitive electronics such as modern chargers, laptop power supplies, televisions, coffee machines with control boards, medical devices, or technology with sensitive microelectronics can react with malfunctions, increased heat generation, humming noises, or interference.
A pure sine wave inverter, on the other hand, generates a clean, consistent sine wave – comparable to the mains voltage in your home. That's precisely why the TARA Sync models consistently rely on pure sine waves: This allows you to reliably and without interference operate even sensitive devices such as modern chargers, laptops, coffee machines, or medical equipment.
Models, performance and integration into the on-board electrical system
The TARA Sync inverter series is available in several power levels. This allows you to tailor your system precisely to your needs. Smaller versions are suitable for basic applications, while more powerful models can supply multiple or energy-intensive devices simultaneously.
Integration is done directly into your existing 12V electrical system. The vehicle's battery is the essential foundation, as it provides the necessary DC voltage that the inverter converts to 230V. Depending on your setup, a battery charger, solar charge controller, or charge booster can additionally recharge the battery, but these are not strictly necessary for the inverter to function. Crucial factors are appropriate cable cross-sections, short cable runs between the battery and inverter, and a power rating that matches your actual power requirements.
Important: The battery used must be able to provide the required continuous discharge current. You can find this information in the battery's datasheet. For example, a 2200 W inverter requires a battery with a minimum continuous discharge current of 175 A. If several batteries are connected in parallel, the possible continuous discharge current is added accordingly.
The TARA Sync models in detail
All TARA Sync models are designed for 12V electrical systems and come standard with pure sine wave output , soft start , sleep mode , electronic reverse polarity protection , USB-A and USB-C ports , a temperature- and load-dependent , quiet fan control , an optional remote control , ECE R10.6 certification , and a 2-year warranty . The difference lies in the respective power output level.

- Continuous power output : 800 W
- Peak power : 1600 W
- Connections : 230V sockets and integrated USB-A and USB-C ports
Ideal for small to medium-sized consumer devices such as laptops, camera batteries, chargers or light kitchen appliances.
WATTSTUNDE® TARA Sync 1500 W
- Continuous power output : 1500 W
- Peak power : 3000 W
- Connections : 230V sockets and integrated USB-A and USB-C ports
Suitable for higher-powered devices such as coffee machines or multiple 230V appliances simultaneously.
WATTSTUNDE® TARA Sync 2200 W
- Continuous power output : 2200 W
- Peak power : 4400 W
- Connections : 230V sockets and integrated USB-A and USB-C ports
For particularly energy-intensive applications or multiple high-power consumers simultaneously in the 12V electrical system.
The high continuous power output is suitable for energy-intensive applications. The correspondingly high peak power output offers sufficient reserves for demanding devices with high inrush currents.
Comfort, technology and safety
With the optional TARA Sync remote control, you can conveniently control your inverter from your living space.
Furthermore, the inverters feature various protective functions to ensure safe operation. These include protection mechanisms against overload, overheating, and incorrect voltages. While the technical specifications vary depending on the model, they are all clearly designed for mobile use.
Who is the TARA Sync inverter series suitable for?
The TARA Sync series is ideal for:
- Campers and vanlifers who regularly use 230V appliances
- Users of high-performance consumers
- Travelers who value a stable and clean power supply
Whether it's a weekend trip or a longer journey – the inverters adapt to your setup and can also be used in stationary off-grid systems with a 12V electrical system.
