Portable AC Power

One of my oldest setups. Used to use this one when camping many years ago in conjunction with a small solar panel. If things got depleted, I would just spend one night running a small 800W generator for power and to charge everything back up. Generator ran 10 hours on one gallon of gasoline.
Although I have a larger inverter now, I still use this one the most. I can run a 32 inch tv(50W), Fan(60W), and an assortment of lamps/lights, charge items either AC, DC, USBport, and have power to spare. Run time= about 8 hours or more at 100-150 watt draw. Battery will still have a 50-60% charge. I can then finish the discharge using items plugged into the DC power points(I made dat myself.lol) or recharge the battery by generator or wall receptacle.
400 watts max.

Dammit. Gotta go find out how to reduce pic size. Booooooo.

Until I can find the remedy, I think you can just click on the pic to see it in its entirety.

Testing.

me too...testing.. are larger numbers making a smaller pix or vice versa.

New deep cycle. Got three or four. Lol . Got some regular ones too. Or just hook the thing up to the truck or tractor with an extension cord running to the house. Lol. Or even a riding mower.
That thing is prolly 20 + years old bought at Wal-Mart for 45 dollas.

My nephew blew it up about 2 years ago when he reversed the polarity hooking it up. It was fused. I took it apart, went to Auto Zone and replaced the fuses . Still works great!
I have a 2000 watt inverter but you'd have to have that thing hooked up to a golf cart , 6 battery , deep cycle, array for it to last or just hook it up to a company truck, running, that you don't have to pay gasoline for.
Hell, great in a bind but I just as well start the 7000 watt gen up.

Thing is , the inverters are quiet . Little noise.

You're smart and really well set up and I imagine with your crazy weather you'd need to be! You sure do get some skeery assed weather there!

Yeah, well I ain't figured out how to make these oversized pics smaller yet and I've tried all kinds of shit!

I'll try some images.
