Power Inverters...

[Chad711]

Im going to be on the lookout for one. As far as what I will run on it, here goes...

TV

VCR

1 75 watt light

Radio

And here is a possible stupid idea, I was thinking of running a battery charger for the other battery when needed, but maybe thats a bad idea?

What do you guys use, I know they are not exactly cheap. Hope to find one around $100.

Thanks Chad

A 400/800 peak watt inverter should be good. Shop around and you'll find one for $25.

No sense in using an inverter to power a battery charger.

Yeah I didnt think so lol...

Seems like hsolist is the way to go...

Hi Chad,

As far as charging the fish house batteries back up I would recommend a STAY-N-Charge system. The real cats meow!

Just thought I'd pass on my latest experience with power inverters. I had bought a Vector 350 watt inverter to run a 13"tv and DVD player. First night on a hunting trip the TV was cold and the inverter would not start it at all (50 watt TV). Second night everything was all warmed up, it worked fine for 1 movie. Third day TV would not start up, probably not enough juice left in the battery. After that weekend the inverter was returned for a refund and i'm now looking for a AC-DC TV DVD. Could have just been my TV too, i've heard some are very touchy about power durring start-up.

I would recommend skipping the inverter and going with a smaller 1 or 2000 watt Honda generator.

Just my 2 cents.

I have a 13in. color tv with a built in vcr that runs on ac/dc. I use it in the ice house and in the camper. It works great. No generator noise, and I've never had a power inveter.
