Water heater amps required.
a battery tech wants to know how many watts our water heaters pull. He is also asking if there is a surge (that one is easy. No surge to my knowledge).
thanks in advance

Looks like it's 1400 watts, 12 amps according to Suburban.

Just remember that 12 amps at 120 VAC equals approx 120 amps at 12VDC off an inverter.
