I'm trying to run my playstation in my car. Will having a more power battery help? I don't think power invertors help

Certainly a higher Amp Hour rated battery will power your game equipment longer than a lesser one will. That said, while this is an outstanding battery, it will not enhance the power delivery to your game as that is limited by wire size and fuse ratings.

Compare the Amps and reserve power to your current battery. I believe this Odyssey will have numbers.

this is the battery for you also consider running remote rectifiers from your altenator

It all depends on how your wires are getting the electricity from the battery bank. If you only have one battery, or one connection point to a string of batteries, you will not be able to pull the full 4000 watts the inverter is capable of doing (for a sub second). I have 8 batteries, and I connect to the inverter from 3 different points in the array of batteries, This is because each battery is only capable of producing so much power. But you need to be able to get all the batteries to put an even amount of juice to the inverter, or you will overload one or two of your batteries. If you never plan to pull more than a few hundred watts on the inverter, one cable will work fine, but if you want to draw the full 2000 watts, you will need multiple wires, in order to carry that many amps.

This unit only draws 50 watts, half an amp. A 100 watt inverter plugged into your cars 12V plug is more than you'll need to run this unit in a car.

The inverter will do it, but run time is dependent on battery size. I've run my netbook on a car battery for two hours, but I'm careful to run the engine a little afterwards as car batteries don't like being discharged too deeply. If you want to get technical, add your inverter and laptop draw in amps (amps x volts = watts), multiply it by an inefficiency factor (?would have to look that up), and multiply that times the hours used and you have the amp hours your battery will need for that application.

If it's a properly grounded, running vehicle, the battery ground should be solidly attached to the chassis. Therefor, attaching the inverter to bat + and any good chassis ground should be fine. But getting a set of those quick connect jumpers and using for the inverter rather than jumper cables would be ideal!

You can move it around as much as you'd like! I used to have a smaller 200 watt inverter that I dragged back and forth between the house and my car without a problem. Just make sure it's turned off when you're ready to unplug it and don't plug it in to another source unless the unit is switched to off.

I don't know - as I understand it, connections are made directly to the battery to keep it at full power. If your battery supplies power to the inverter then I'd suppose you have power at the inverter. A direct connection to the inverter??? If you find that it works I'd like to know. good luck.

You could make it work, but it will be more trouble than its worth in my opinion...this runs on a 12 volt electrical system (Like most cars), not household 110 V....so you will need an inverter to power it.

Yes, I bought it originally because of my battery bank is also 24 Volt. This is ok. But I cant actually recommend this device. I bought it not only for inverter-function but also for charging and bypassing when generator comes into game. The last two, charging and bypassing, did never work out. I don't know if I got it already defect by bad luck or if it is just low quality.

Please don't try using this inverter with a cigarette adapter as it's power level will probably exceed the amperage limit of the fuse for the cigarette lighter. You may even damage the wiring in your vehicle doing so.

Depends on the amperage of the inverter and what you are trying to power up. Anything that is high draw should have a dedicated circuit right to the battery. I wouldn't even recommend a high amp or watt inverter be plugged in to the factory outlet let alone an add on.

Only if you have a regular outlet in your car. Some vehicles do. Hubby has a power inverter in his rig, so I bought this for him.

I'm confused. My battery is a 9.6V Q105, not a PS 120. It says to use with a PS150, which I have done for several years.

I suggest you buy a converter which supports power at least 3 times larger than what you really need, this will make you less trouble. Thus for your PS, 500W seems good enough.

Rajesh,The run time depends on the size of your battery not the inverter.Joe

I wouldn't use an inverter for something like that. Most charging systems on vehicles aren't large enough to keep up with something like that. Occasionally for a few minutes would be ok just not continuous.

I used a standard car battrery and it ran a radio 2 40 watt lamps for days before needing a charge. Make sure you dont get poitive and negitive mixed up. It killed my inverter dead.
