1000 watt inverter

[Engineer]

May I ask the group for some procurement advice?

I am looking for a 1000 watt inverter (115 VAC from a 12 VDC
marine or traction battery) that gives a "modified sine
wave" output, literally 6 square waves in a cycle (lots or
harmonics!)

Where might I find one in Canada? (New or used.)
What can I expect to pay for this unit in Canada?

Also, what is a recommended brand of battery charger and
likely Canadian price? I don't want to trickle charge it
continuously to avoid gassing - I want a "charge and switch
off" unit, or similar - so automobile chargers are out.

BTW, this is not my professional field even though it looks
very simple technically.

Many thanks for all replies.

Cheers,

Roger

I saw one at COSTCO the other day for $69.00 US. Don't know about the
wave shape of the output though. Hope this helps
