What size inverter would run this? The 400 watt inverter built into the bed of my Tacoma does not power it.

it would take 2000 to pump up 80 lbs,it should run a little on 1000,but I'm not sure (just guessing) it takes 2000 to run a freezer,to make compressor kick in

Depends on the size of your battery string. I have four deep cycle batteries and it would run it for a bit. When running the inverter I have plenty of power to run most everything. Including 120 and 12 volt loads.

as a previous owner of one of these i wouldnt recommend buying this inverter i had one and it didnt last but a few days on 2 100 watt panels wired paralell the most wattage i ever saw was 112 wats and 18.8 volts

You'd have to figure out the current draw of your particular model. The inverter size only accounts for how many watts you can pull at once. High wattage items require bigger inverters (the fridge, heaters, microwaves) but these items will also drain a battery fast. A baby inverter might run a cell phone charger and some LED lights for a long time but these are low wattage (low power demand) items...The items demand and the battery capacity determine run time. Do the math and check this out.... http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t4590/12v-DC-current-draw-for-REMStar-Auto.html Also....for insurance, some of us off road types run two deep cycle batteries...insurance for failure and also double the capacity for trail tools and welders.

Yes, with a power inverter that is rated for more than 450w. Be careful because it will blow stock fuses if you use the power outlet. Wire it yourself or replace the fuse. I recommend using a 40 Amp fuse with a 500w+ power inverter.

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.

120 volt. Not sure about an inverter. It would have to have enough amperage and be a full sine wave inverter is my guess since everything has electronics in them now and gets odd when inverting.

If the rating is different from what you need I might not chance it. Or if you do, get the invertor from someplace like walmart where you can return it if it doesn't work.

it depends on the amp draw from all of your appliances. 110 volts can power a 65" or 19" tv. check the amp draw for the appliances. The other gotcha is - most of these newer inverters are not accurate as far as capacity goes. for example - i bought one of these as a spare in case my old (7 year+) walmart inverter died. it could not handle the load but the old walmart one had no problem. my best advice is - buy one about 2x the amperage you need and be prepared to return it. do not use it in a situation which you cannot have it fail. have some sort of spare... these guys that answered "yes" haven't got a clue as to what you are really powering.

I will have to say no to that! It won't even run my 900 Watt microwave I have in my semi. They tell you the inverter is 3000 W but actually it's only 1500. I was disappointed when I receive the inverter and it said it on the box.

I did use a 12 volt 500 watt power converter to 115 volt hooked to my pickup battery to run the fan. This worked but I don't know how long the fan will run without the pickup running.

No, this 400 watt inverter will power something rated at 120 volts and with a current draw up to about 3 amps. This info would be on the shop vac nameplate. A tiny shop vac draws around 4 amps and a large one will draw 12 amps or more.

I'm not sure, I would call there help center. I can tell you that it works great, I used this inverter several times over four hours to power buff my boat with no problems. Hope this helped

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.

Sorry. The inverter can be purchased at walmart if you do decide to use it. It just uses the back speakers channels and converts them to a low channel for a sub. Wouldn't recommend but it would work

this inverter is a under powered inverter. go with a aims inverter!! I picked up a pure sine wave aims inverter and have been loving it.

Sounds like the 3000 should work fine! I've found this inverter to be very capable!!
