Car 12V power inverter
Hammy360 - 18/11/16 at 02:52 PM

Can anyone recommend a good/safe power inverter to run from my Tintop Beemer to power my grinder for non prolonged use?
Dont wanna go to fleabay for cheap and potentially dangerous one.

This seems good and is 1/2 the price of the same unit at halfrauds

Worried about how long the batteries will last in this cold weather mate

The item you linked to from halfords is only a 500w unit, suspect your grinder need 1100 ish when its running, start up will be higher (briefly) so you would need a 2000W + inverter. You wont be running that off your cigar lighter socket !

What about a battery grinder and a 12v charger for the batteries ?

You can buy 2000-2800 w generators for £150 to £200 much better thing to use .
