power inverter

[Travis91]

I like to fish alot and i want to be able to put a livewell in the back of my truck. and i want to be able to use a aerator for a fishtank for the live well. and i would like to be able to use other things back there. like circular saws and the like. how would i wire one back there. and how many watts would i need? can anyone recommend a inverter?

Many companies sell inverters. You have to calculate you total wattage to get the appropriate inverter. You will have to leave the engine running while using high wattage accessories. Sometimes it's necessary to get a dual battery set up. A small, portable generator is another option.

an inverter big enough to run a skilsaw would have to be huge..
also running the engine when using an inverter that big would be a good idea,
not only that they would be very expensive,,
