Could you use an inverter?

I guess before you can answer the question, "Could you use an inverter?" you need to understand what an inverter is and does. Basically an inverter converts 12V DC power into 120V AC power. Any light bulbs go on yet? If you're thinking that hey my car has 12V DC outlets and if I had 120V AC power in my car I could plug in things that I could only normally plug in in the house, you're right. Say you had a radio that was only powered by plugging it into an AC wall outlet, with an inverter you can now use it in the car. Get the idea? Just about anything that you can plug in in the house can be powered in the car with some limits of course.
Inverters come with different wattage ratings and you need to select an inverter that is rated high enough to power what you want to power. Inverters also come with many safety features. One safety feature shuts off the inverter when the voltage of your car battery drops below usually 10V. This is to insure that you have enough voltage in your battery to still start your car. The other common safety feature is that if you plug something into an inverter that draws more wattage than it's rated for it will simply shut off.
Inverters are an awesome accessories for in your vehicle. The smaller wattage inverters plug into the cigarette lighter outlet and the larger ones must be connected directly to the battery. SGMC can help you make sure that you get the correct inverter to do what you want to do.
