can you plug a power inverter into it and power a tv off of it

Yes, you can probably run an inverter connected to a lighter outlet to run a TV or other small things needing under ~120 watts. The battery likely has a rating like "15 amp-hour" hinting it'll give you 1 amp (at 12V) for 15 hours, or 2 amps for 7.5 hours etc and something needing 1 amp at 120V will pull 10 amps at 12V from the battery.

No, this goes the other way (120V-&gt;12V). You need an inverter that goes from 12V-&gt;120V.

You can, but the power is not clean enough to protect sensitive electronics. If you have a cheapo TV that you want to watch when tailgating, sure, give it a shot, but powering you main house TV directly, I wouldn't. I use a power conditioner,but really, if you want a generator for electronics, go with an inverter generator, the power from those is very clean.

Yes with a 400 watt inverter...pure sinwave inverter preferably...but nonetheless an inverter

Yes, you can. It's not safe unless you have it plugged into a UPS though, keep that in mind. If power cuts or dips you'll have to start over.

My husband uses his in the semi truck he drives; and we can use it at home. The TV set plugs in to a regular household socket, or power inverter, which is 110 line; AND is also has the cord for the 12v socket, the same kind that runs a cigarette lighter in a vehicle.

You should be able to swap the power cord out, they are pretty standard but I would check the tv.

No. Not without a converter, BUT On page 6, section 1.13 "DO NOT USE WITH POWER INVERTER/CONVERTER"

Not without it being plugged into a power inverter. They sell em at Radio Shack.:-)

I don't know about the TV question, but it can be plugged into an electrical outlet.

The TV is 120 VAC, but being an old truck driver I'm sure it would run just fine on a power inverter

No, you will need an external switch to do that. Also you need to make sure it bypasses your charging system, so that you are not trying to charge your batteries from the inverter.

No, unless both happen to be on the same frequency (not likely) - you would need to select either the TV or Cable button to choose the device you want to control. Not sure it is the best way to go, but I just turn the TV on/off and leave the cable box on all the time. I have heard cable boxes use just about the same amount of power when they are off (actually "stand-by") as when they are on.

No, but the batteries do last a long time. If you find someone savvy with electronics I'm sure they can wire up a power supply. It would need a transformer to reduce the voltage

There is a cable that comes with it micro usb to usb that will plunder in a usb port on the tv. If usb port isn't available then there is power adapter that will plug into a local power source 120 v

Only if it is using a AC to DC inverter. This unit switches on an off AC current

I don't use a power supply for mine. The needed power is supplied via the HDMI connection from the tv or other media device.
