holly12345 Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I need somebody who can fit an inverter back of my van for 2 key machines one computerised and laptop. Thought about doing it my self but no. I live in Lancashire but can travel to Manchester area. Quote please too for fitting or recomendations thanks.

redcap Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 It's a very simple job for anyone with just a little experience. There should be no need to travel very far. Just google auto electricians in your local area. Ask them to supply and fit a split charge relay for the inverter batteries and wire everything in for you. Depending on where you want it in the back (copper wire is expensive) the whole job (including wiring and relay) will probably be less than £100.

holly12345 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Just spoke to an auto electrician, and he said if im just running the a5 which the power consumption is 60watt, and if im only using 1 machine at a time with the engine running I will only need the 1000watt inverter and not the leisure battery. Im a bit confused now im getting different views off different auto electricians. Just trying to save £200 that's all. Anybody here just running off the inverter?

grahamparker Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Not a good idea to have the van running while your in the back even if you locked the doors with a second key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autolock Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Agree bad idea to have van running when you're in the back.i have a 2500 watt inverter it was not bad to wire in ,I have 12 volt truck battery it is very large but does the job well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autolock Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Sorry didn't read you're post properly,when van is running relay pulls in and alternator charges van battery and battery in back of van for inverter.when ignition turned off relay drops out and battery in back is isolated only to run inverter,so that the main van battery does not run flat . I personally would get the best inverter you can afford but I have used cheap ones but they have not lasted that well .i have run Unicode and bd lazer and strip lights no problem.

But only 1 machine will be used at once. I did think of buying one of those portable silent generators but don't know of anybody with one to convince me.
