What have you all used for power inverters off of a 12-volt marine battery in your permanent shacks?
Right now I run a motorcycle headlight off of my battery, and it works like a charm instead of a propane lantern. But, I would like to get a dc-power inverter to run a small tv/vcr combo off the battery that attaches to a 12-volt battery with alligator style clips.
Has anyone done this? How has it worked? Anyone have any other ideas for hooking up outlet style power inverters to batteries?
Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology. Battery powdered items will always have their place. I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!! That would be a bit loud and smokey!
That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty. Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.
As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows, you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
