I would assume that the start-up amperage would not be higher than it is rated which is 1.45 amps (115 volts and 130 watts is a little less than that so it should be the max).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They have an extreme surge as they all do. Three of these initially starting at the same time will overload a 2000 watt inverter if you don't stagger the starts. In normal use they never overload it and generally pull under 20a @ 12vdc combined. Figure 2-3 times amp draw for a few seconds on initial startup. Doesn't seem as severe cycling once cold.
