Best Answer

For powering a load over 150 watts, you can connect the inverter directly into your car battery. This involves using a 4-guage power cable that draws directly from the positive battery terminal. Without an in-line fuse or circuit breaker, you could short circuit the process.

Why cant an invertor placed in car to run the ac?

For one, the AC compressor is belt driven off the engine, so the inverter would do no good there. Second off, it would take a very powerful inverter to run an AC system, and the wiring from the alternator to the battery, the battery to ground, and the engine block to ground is designed only to handle what the stock electrical system needs - such an inverter could put too much of a draw on those wires and cause a fire.


Do higher watt inverters drain batteries more than lower watt?

The inverter draws little current on its own. It is the load that is connected to the inverter. If there were no load on the inverter you could use an ampmeter to determine the no load current. One thing to consider is that a higher wattage inverter would have larger gauge wire which is of lower resistance. This could make the no load current lower for the higher wattage inverter. Bottom line is you would have to measure or have a specification on the no load current.


Will hooking up a power inverter to an electric scooter charger blow out the controller?

Well, that all depends on the voltage of both the inverter and the charger. As long as the output of the inverter is the same voltage as the input on the charger, you should be fine. Example: Normal scooter charger is 110 volts. Inverter is a 12V DC to 110V AC inverter. (the type used to watch a household TV while in a car) and your scooter charger normally plugs into a wall socket in your house, this will work fine. If the inverter you have is one that turns 110V AC to 12V DC, then you will have a problem.

Can a 300 watt inverter run a 16 amp chainsaw?

One would assume the chainsaw requires 120 volts or more if you want to run it with an inverter. If your chainsaw uses 16 amps at 120 volts then your wattage is Volts (120) x Amps (16) and that would be 1920 watts. So you will require a much larger inverter to run your chainsaw.
