We recently purchased a portable solar kit so we can do more boondocking. We love the kit and it works great. Now we need a power inverter to run a few small AC appliances. I am looking at a 300 to 600 pure sine inverter. Our issue - we were hoping not to have to go to the trouble of mounting it, just using battery clips and somehow running them through a window to the kitchen counter inside for the few times we need it. I am finding, though, that most battery clip cables that come with inverters are about 2 feet long, which won't work. Frankly at this point my head is spinning and I need some guidance. We own a 14dbs Camplite. Any suggestions?
Just use an extension cord on the AC side. The losses to resistance on the DC side would be extreme unless you used very thick cables. At 600 watts it could draw up to 50 amps on the DC side.
Makes sense. Thanks for the insight.
