Inverters

A power inverter is used to convert 12 DC battery voltage to 115 V AC. I went to a local ham swap meet today and noted that the Whistler power inverter was commonly being sold. Prices for new units at the swap meet were running:

500 watt continuousPP500AC $99.95
1000 watt continuousPP1000AC $219.95
1500 watt continuousPP1500AC $324.95
2500 watt continuousPP2500AC $544.95

Prices on the web, such as Shipman Enterprises, are higher. I suggest you shop around for lowest price if you decide to purchase this brand. More research is needed to determine if these are the best units to use.

In theory you can run ANY PC or AC electrical device from a DC source.You just need the use of an inverter. An inverter takes 12 volts DC and converts it to 115 volts AC. A car battery would be the perfect source for your 12 volts. You can find some Inverters on the web.

Power system inverters and controllers. I recommend Trace. Again, wholesale pricing on these items is well below retail so find an electrician buddy or purchasing agent to negotiate the best price. Trace equipment specs can be found on the web.
