It actually depends on the car. Some cigarete lighters are wire to the fuse panel (these will drain when car is off) and some are wired to the ignition switch (these will only drain when the car's ignition is on).
When using the Inverter the CCU can be adapted to the users needs. A regular 12 volt battery would work on any small devices.
Through the cigarette lighter.
There is no free power. Inverters always waste some power; they are not 100% efficient. You can't take as much power out of a battery as you put in to it.
((135AH*12V)/600VA)*85%Efficiency=2.20Hrs
Online UPS on the other hand uses an Inverter which always on to give sine wave AC in the output socket. The incoming AC is first converted into DC by a transformer to charge the battery as well as to give power to the inverter transformer. The inverter transformer converts the DC to AC continuously to power the load. If power fails, the battery backup circuit switches on and takes the load. Online UPS is more efficient than the Offline UPS and uses a "Constant duty Inverter". It also has a "Static bypass" system that transfers the load to the AC power if the inverter system fails. The advantage of the Online UPS is that, it clean up the AC waveform by converting it into DC then reconverting this DC to fresh AC.
Most inverters will not be harmed by charging the battery [running the engine while the inverter is connected]. However, for safety [inverters are expensive] it is best that the Owner/User Manual be consulted to make sure that it is safe to charge the battery while the inverter is connected.
To store energy produced from a dynamo, you can incorporate a battery into the system. The dynamo generates electricity, which can be used to charge the battery. An inverter can then be connected to the battery to convert the stored DC energy into AC power for use when needed.
No, the battery connected to an inverter would not have near enough power to run a dryer.
12 volt of an ordinary inverter battery
No, the capacity of the battery is too low to be of any use.
If the cigarette lighter would normally work without turning on the ignition, yes.
The amp hours capacity of a battery remains the same whether it is connected to a 12-volt DC load or a 120-volt AC inverter. So, the battery would still have 100 amp hours regardless of the inverter voltage.
You can buy an "inverter." It plugs into the cigarette lighter or accessory plug or directly clips to the battery terminals and converts the 12 volt DC to AC. You can then plug your appliance into it. Be sure to get an inverter that is the right wattage capacity for your device.
The whole purpose of an inverter is to convert DC to AC.Mainly, you should check the voltage of the inverter, and of the battery - they should match.As to the 350 watt: the battery must be able to provide that much power. Check the battery specifications. Actually, it is also possible that you take less power from the battery - it really depends what devices you connect to the inverter.
Yes, Its good alternate solution but by using non-solar inverter it requires manual switching. (Solar charge controller will no longer works) & In Solar inverter, its easy switching & more life (solar inverter manufacturers gives max 5 years warranty) As we use more panels in parallel it charges battery quickly.
