OT inverting power from 24 volts (help, please!), (2 batteries in my wheelchair) Options

[Korijo]

I want to invert some power from my wheelchair. It has 2 12v batteries. It already converts 110v to charge them.

Here's what I want to do...

1) Power my video camera/charge the camera battery.

2) Run my electric lawn mower. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

3) anything that needs 110v... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)


Anyone know what I need ? I dont know where to begin...

Dave,

Here's a site with very reasonably priced inverters: 24V power inverters. I just bought 3 of the 400W jobbers. They'll be used to run a laptop and some medical simulation equipment in a hummer. They should work well for your smaller devices: camcorder, laptop. I don't think you'll have enough juice in your wheelchair batteries for the lawnmower; might need to run a cord for that.

nice !! thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

would i need only 1 ?

Yup. One should do you. We have a couple vehicles and I wanted a spare, which is why we bought three... If your're running a camcorder and a laptop, I'd imagine you'd be fine with the 400W version. Again, check the equipment (typically the wallwart that plugs into the 110V socket) for the power draw, to be sure.
