Any of you have experience with this?
I'm using a 300W modified sine wave inverter thru the cig. lighter to power my laptop (batter disconnected) and it works just fine. I did that in ~4 hour sessions so far with the engine running, the A/C and the sound system.
I'm planning to get a pure/true sine wave inverter (my search say it's needed for TV's and lights) for small camps/picnics to to power, in addition to the laptop, 2.1 speakers, a 27" LED monitor and a couple of power saving lights, to game for 4-5 hours.
Any idea what requirements needed here? According to my calculations, the above devices use a pessimistic max of 220W.
My car has a 115A alternator and, if it's important, a 88A battery. Dunno what current that alternator can give at idle, but some people say about 65A.
