Calling all sports fans! As we approach football season, I just wanted to let you know that you can use your blender, electric skillet, TV, radio, microwave or whatever you need while tailgating using your car battery or a stand alone battery and a power inverter. All you have to do is total the amps of all appliances you want to power. Here’s an example:
Blender – 6.5 amps
TV – 1.5 amps
If you add 6.5 and 1.5 you get a total of 8 amps. You then multiply your total amps by 120 to get the wattage. 8 * 120 = 960 watts. You want to get an inverter big enough to handle any type of start up amperage your appliance may have to I would recommend our 1250 watt inverter or maybe even our 1800 watt inverter.
All of our inverters include a low voltage alarm so your inverter won’t leave you stranded with a dead battery. Time to take your kitchen on the road. One thing worth mentioning….. Most vehicle alternators are 80-100 amps. You don’t want to use an inverter bigger than 1800 watts unless you know your alternator is bigger than 100 amps or you have two batteries. Happy tailgating!
