It will if your battery power source holds up and you use heavy input power cables. (Electric heaters require a lot of power).

Any of them might drain you battery. As power i use it for a drill, grinder, about 3 min for microwave(after that it needs a few seconds to gain power). The blanket shoud work. On my semitruck i have it for an year and a half working fine. As a heater i use a webasto air top 2000 diesel,

We haven't used it with our inverter, because it is for our house bed. but I don't see why it wouldn't work with an inverter as long as you have one with enough wattage.

No, but I can tell you that it will work with an inverter that has sufficient wattage. JeffT, BSEE

I think you are asking if this can be hooked up to a battery and used to power a household electric blanket and small space heater. If that is correct, then what you are looking for is a DC to AC Inverter. This unit does the reverse, meaning it plugs in to household (AC) power and converts it to 12 volt DC power for running DC powered devices. Look up DC to AC Inverter.

I'm plugged into a standard apartment outlet. The cord and plug on this thing is pretty thick so I probably wouldn't try using an inverter.

if you have problems at the start, i am sure amazon will back you. i used my inverter for 3 days straight with no problems and am saving it for emergencys now, you should call power bright (company) talk to them and feel them out. for the money it is a great buy, but do not overload it drawing too much power. it has a fan built in, if it is running warm, ok, but if it is hot, let cool and try reducing load so it does not get hot. if it is running hot it will burn out in time. electronics can run cool or warm, if hot somethings wrong.

Yes this inverter would work for that. It's a good inverter, husband is a truck driver and uses his off the truck battery to run his fridge, microwave, etc.

Depending on the fan.. The power output of this inverter is 400 Watt continuous and 1000 Watt Peak output. Most household fans are ~25 Watts. So it should handle it without a problem.

Yes, as long as you have the adapter plug for 50 amp to 30 amp it works. I have used it several times when I could only get 30 amp service at campsite.

I run #10 wire to a Power/Charge converter and connect that to charge my 12volt batteries (in series or parallel). To the 12 volt batteries I connect a 400 Watt or greater Power Inverter, one with both 110v AND 12 volt outlets. I use the batteries to run my camping trailer so most of my power is used there. But from the Power Inverter I can run an outside TV, Sirius radio, small fan and all kinds of neat stuff. As long as I keep my eyes on it I can go weeks on two batteries and one 100w solar panel (in camping/travel trailer)

Absolutely. I use this for a large 420W stereo and a vacuum cleaner. Gets pretty warm using both for 30+ minutes but never shuts off. Great small inverter for the money.

The inverter is a 3500 W. 4 1500 W equals 6000 w. That would mean you would need 2. I use this inverter on my boat. It runs a household refrigerator of approximately 1800 W. The best thing about this inverter is that it will shut down if it is back fed. Since I switch from AC to DC this feature is extremely valuable. I would recommend this inverter because I have tried Xanax and I burnt out 4 them. As far as the amount of battery you need it all depends on how long you going to run the unit.

Hi Paul,It depends on the amps of the small box space heater .This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

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.

I did buy this inverter..it did just what we wanted it to do... we use it for a small solar application on an off grid camp.. our biggest concern was running a small chest freezer converted to a run as fridge with a 5A start up needed. Have not had a problem.

No. This inverter is designed for portable use, RV, boat, etc. It will short it out, and burn it up if you try it. You need to buy one that is made to be hard wired, (very expensive), or just run an extension cord from the Samlex to the lights, appliances, etc.that you need to run. I know it's inconvient, but better than sitting in a dark house!

I have an inverter I use that I plug into my cig lighter, if you can wait until I get a chance to test mine...............I should be able to get back to you with an answer on Tuesday or Wednesday. Tim
