Generator?

Will an 850 watt genny run a normal everyday TV?

It should do, But you should buy a 1000 watt invertor instead cost around $400 no noise and will run what you want

Bruce,
How long does a battery last inverting to 1000w??????

[adrian]

just make sure it's not the main battery in your car as it will drain them

[bruce4x4]

Jim it all depends on what you are running.

watts divided by 12 = amps

if you run a 60 watt light divided by
12 = 5 amps 60amp battery =12hours ?

so i have been told

Anzac is correct i run a duel battery system

[FLATHEAD1]

I have one. Very handy. Not that noisy. Just run out a 30m lead and you won't hear it above the ambient noise.

You should be able to run your tv, vcr, fridge and light as well.

Thanx bruce,
often wondered....
would not be good to run items that draw lots of power for any period of time fridges etc.
