What kind of inverter do you use in the car?

I do not use an inverter in the car and not sure what this has to do with the crock pot... enlighten me please.. lol

Keep in mind that you will need a 110V power outlet or a capeable inverter in your car, first.

The difference is the voltage coming into the inverter. The question you need to consider is what is the voltage of the system I am wanting to invert to 120? Most cars & trucks run on 12 volt. I purchased the 24 volt for my solar panels because the system was set up as a 24 volt system.

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 :->

I have a small (75W) inverter that I use with my Mini and it works great. I've gone off and forgot I had a meal plugged in and when I got back to the car the next morning I was sure the battery would be dead. To my surprise, my car started right up. The Mini uses so little energy that it didn't run my battery down over that long period, and my food was still hot, moist, and delicious. That day I had lasagna for breakfast and loved it.

You could run it like "Gravy" suggests: car battery >> cigarette lighter >> power inverter (ie AC out) >> adapter that comes with LP-2020A+ >> LP-2020A+ power input.An easier way might be: car battery >> (some sort of capacitor / circuit protection) >> LP-2020A+ power input. You'd probably need to know more about car electronics to go with the latter, though.

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.

The inverter is used to convert the DC voltage to AC,this Gen. gives clean AC, that is better for your PC and other devices,the Carb. compliant ,is for Calf.

Best application is semi-pro or home use. It can be used in a vehicle but you MUST provide a proper power source. In the U.S., that would be 120 Volts AC, 60 Hertz. Inverters are available that could be used for this application. It is also possible to redesign the internal power supply if this is a permanent vehicle installation. This degree of modification is called re-engineering and you have to have quite a bit of expertise in electronics to do it. Also keep in mind this EQ was not designed for the harsh environment of a vehicle..... hot, cold, humidity, vibration, etc.

It is AC powered only, no battery power and can't be used in a car without an inverter.

I notice wildly different ratings on this and other inverters. I need to power a stereo receiver - about 1200 W, with 2 Bose outdoor speakers set pretty loud. Any thoughts on how I should evaluate suitability? Can I be sure my T & C minivan can power this setup? Thanks for any info. - THT

The Product Description clearly states that it IS intended for automotive use! You DO NOT need an inverter; the unit runs on auto voltage; it has a power adapter which takes the 120 AC [house current] down to 9 to 14.4 DC. Just throw away the power adapter which comes with it and wire it directly to your vehicle (12-14 DC).

If you use it in your vehicle, you'll need a power inverter. I use the PowerLine PowerCup 200/400 Watt Mobile Inverter with USB Power Port 90309. If you're stuck in a blizzard or in traffic or hunting in the middle of nowhere, you can still have a warm meal!

There are inverters available that will let you plug your car charger into a regular wall outlet. Search ac/dc inverter here.

just in an electrical outlet. But I have bought mine to use just as you want. Just look for one 12v to 110V inverter. Choose one with 75W or higher and be happy!

Gene,We have a couple of inverters that would work. Are you going to set your system up as a 12 volt or 24 volt system.Joe

The answer to your question is yes.. The controller is like a voltage regulator on your car.. You can use the inverter as long as the batteries have enough charge which is up to the controller to maintain the voltage as long as your are getting solar...
