I have a 1000 watt that I ran into the bed of my truck and have it mounted next to the tail. I had a 2nd line run off of the alternator to the bed, and I have a 2nd battery under my bunk. You need to have the electrical counterpart of a backflow preventer installed in the line so that if you use too much juice it will not take it from the primary battery that starts the rig. I have run a coffeemaker, a blender, a dremel for taking off barbs and more.

If you are running the inverter for a prolonged period and are directly hooked to the battery, I would recommend running the rig while you are using it when you are using something that has a heavy draw (such as a blender or coffeemaker) but light draws (like a light bulb or a dremel) you shouldn't have a problem unless you are using them for a long time, and even then, just starting the rig every 30-45 minutes and letting it run for a few minutes should keep you safe.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.
