600w Invertor from Maplin £29.99

[retsina]

Couple of days ago, I've got a tip off on this side about Maplins selling 600W modified sinewave invertors for £29.99. I have just received it and tested it; it works very well. Plenty more of these at Maplins.

Might get one myself if they have them in Irish shops

Does it have crocodile clips to connect straight to the battery? Or could a ciggie lighter take this load?

Yes, you are right, I've just checked the Maplins web side and it appears that they have raised the price from £29.99 to £69.99 in the last 24 hours!!!!

I started a thread about the comparison between modified and pure sinewave inverters a little while ago, you might want to read it before you plug in anything expensive to it... quasi v pure sine wave inverters

Hope your DC supply is up to it - 600 wats will draw more than 50 amps at 12v, so your batteries will take a hammering when it is on unless your engine is running.
