I plan to use this on my '77 VW Camper ~ Can I connect this to my inverter?

Good question. I would ask the manufacturer I had a question of them once and they were fairly prompt in answering. With mine I only need to connect to the batteries on my pick up camper and charge away!

We connect to a deep cycle marine battery, which then runs things requiring 12 volts--whether that is enough for you depends on your uses. It is enough to keep the battery charged for our relatively light usage (no floodlights, loudspeakers, heaters). It requires a cord with a cigarette plug to plug in the inverter.

The unit attaches very simply to a battery with jumper cables style alligator clips and I have found that this unit is wonderful even in the partial shade.

I don't know - as I understand it, connections are made directly to the battery to keep it at full power. If your battery supplies power to the inverter then I'd suppose you have power at the inverter. A direct connection to the inverter??? If you find that it works I'd like to know. good luck.

No, connect it to your 12v Battery that powers your invertor. I use this on mine it works amazing!

Well, of course it will... however, with a caveat... the query here ought to be what is the duration to fulfill its duty-cycle... i.e., to finish its demand-cycle? Remember your inverter is only as able as your deep-cycle battery's charge... or are you utilizing your car's or RV's system... e.g., w/alternator?

Yes you can do that. You will need a splitter and it needs to be a "DC pass" type. You will end up with an extra power plug and injector.

That all depends on the 12V power source, the inverter will run as long as you have power going into it

Depends on where you are planning to wire it in. I would suggest you watch tutorials videos and buy a voltmeter. Everything else, you can do it!

I can't see why not either. While driving, this gadget and the car's battery are both being charged by the car's system, which has many times the necessary output to run everything all by itself. You wouldn't want to use the inverter when you were charging the battery from the wall charger, but there's no reason to try that in the first place.

I would not recommend it. The wire on the cigarette light adapter is not not rated for the amperage of the inverter.

The cord on the one that I purchased is only about 3 ft. long so it would not reach into your car. A 300w inverter would take about 25 amps at full load and that would overload the wire a little. It would work but the wires may overheat. It would depend on the load. The 300 watt designation on the inverter is its capacity and if the load is less, then the draw on the battery would be less.

I use a 100 watt power inverter for the cigarette lighter in a car.. $20 is cheap..

I don't know. I don't have such an inverter. I seriously doubt that the battery would produce many watts for very long anyway.

I notice wildly different ratings on this and other inverters. I need to power a stereo receiver - about 1200 W, with 2 Bose outdoor speakers set pretty loud. Any thoughts on how I should evaluate suitability? Can I be sure my T & C minivan can power this setup? Thanks for any info. - THT

Shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I didn't like about inverter was the GFI plug.

I wouldn't use an inverter for something like that. Most charging systems on vehicles aren't large enough to keep up with something like that. Occasionally for a few minutes would be ok just not continuous.

If its a 12 volt power port the invertor will work fine . I use it all the time in an 18 wheeler for various things

Not a chance, this inverter is for small appliances. Lamps, hand drill, charging battery's , radios.

The accessory port in your truck is not strong enough to handle this inverter. You Must go directly the the battery. Remember this inverter has 6000 watts of peak power.

i want to us this inverter for camping...to power up my small home heater or electric blanket..will this inverter work
