Can a power inverter safely run the seat?

Yes, used it in the car with one on one of my husband's let's drive to Summit to get race car parts days. :)

Unless you get a power inverter with enough wattage to run this thing (600 watt or higher).

I don't think so. The wattage for those items is too high for this inverter. Plus, the breaker fuse in your car, if that is where you were going to plug in, is way too light for bathroom appliances. I'm no electrician, so anyone who knows better, please correct me :->

something to consider, while I have never pushed the limits of this inverter, it is rated for peak performance of 1600 watts. If you only have the drill running for short periods of time and your battery can handle the drain there should be no problem. I would recommend leaving the vehicle running unless you have a battery that's quite large and make sure the vents on the inverter aren't blocked and it's in a relatively cool environment... If that drill is going to be running 1 minute out of every 10 I think this'll do you fine, much more than that and youll start to see heat buildup faster than it can be cooled. something to consider, while I have never pushed the limits of this inverter, it is rated for peak performance of 1600 watts.

Ashley,You would have to keep air circulating around the inverter or it will get hot and shut down.Joe

No, the "low voltage" alarm would go off. You need panels that will output 23 to 26 volts to power this inverter.

We haven't run it with such an inverter, but we did look at the circuitry inside when evaluating it, and it shouldn't need a pure sine-wave. In fact, it only pulls power at the peaks of the sine wave (it has around a 0.7 power factor), and will actually run with an appropriate high-voltage DC input instead of AC. So it shouldn't care if your inverter is "modified-sine-wave". Your inverter, however, may care that the supply only pulls power during part of the cycle, and you may therefore need an inverter with a higher peak output power/current than you were expecting.

I doubt that the invertor would see the same high temp, the roof surface underneath the panels will not have sunlight on it so will not get as hot as the unprotected parts. Just my opinion:)

Not aware of any issues concerning DC Solar inverters as it runs on AC current. You plug it into a wall outlet and go.

No. It is a good inverter though. Some inexpensive inverters will use a lot of energy even if they have no load on them. This one doesn't. Very important when running something that cycles on and off like a refrigerator.

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

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.

yes, as long as the inverter can operate between 12 and 18 volts. Most larger panels have an output between 24 and 30 volts.

This inverter will power anything that runs a 120v plugin if you wire it correctly. However, if you didn't know the answer to this question. Have a PROFESSIONAL install it for you. Otherwise there is a good chance you will blow up the unit or burn your car.

I had not problems using it in the car with an inverter. Heats up just like in the hotel/house.

inverter power supply should be based on what you need to run in the storage room. The wattage load it will handle. I can tell you that the battery can run a trolling motor for over 4 hours and still have power left. I think I would check the amperage draw of the inverter large enough for your need and divide into the amp hour rating of your battery to give you a idea of how long the battery will last.

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.
