Power inverter question

Post by delica 304 »

I had an idea to install a small sausage compressor in my van, but I would need to convert 12VDC to 110ACV. I know Cambodian Tire sells some power converters, but after hearing how they seem to like to burst into flames, I'm a little leary of those. SO, what other options for power conversion units are there out there??

Ask the pros. Around here (Vancouver) that means RP or Polar Battery.

Check some of TardisDeli posts or just contact them directly, they are very helpful on the matter. And don't have any commercial interest!

If you want the compressor for pumping up tyres then I would recommend the "Eliminator" from Cambodian Tire. If you want the compressor for pumping up your shocks I would recommend talking to "North Shore Off Road" ( http://www.nsor.com ).
The "Eliminator" also has two a/c outputs, a cigarette plug and jumper cables ~ and goes for around $100 ~ $150. Looks a bit like a high tech lunch box.
