Looking for a perfect power inverter to run laptop & printer within my truck?

I am trying to set up my work truck near a laptop & a printer. I need insist on on what power inverter to buy and is 750 watts enough to run both continously. Whats the best buy for the mission??


Answer:

Most Notebook computers can get grasp along well on 100-200 watts. How much power you involve for your printer could very greatly. look for information on the printer that tell you how many volts and amps the printer uses.

volts x amps = watts.

If here is an AC to DC adapter then carry this information for the AC volts and AC amps (which is the input to the power adapter).



I bought an inverter at PEP Boys that I like alot.

It is the largest inverter they hold that can be run from the cigarette lighter (400 watts). It was in the region of 30 dollars.

They have much larger inverters but they should be connected directly to the mobile.
750w should be enough. Just shop around and ask the stores. Also, check out places such as newegg.com
Check on the power requirement of the printer. The laptop should be Ok at max 125W. ~

eBay have very apposite deals on inverters.
