If your power demand is more than 120watt, buy a inverter that is powered directly from the battery and NOT from the cigarette lighter. Any amp demand output more than 10amp will cause overheating and evetually fire.

Yes homefix should have it..Is a rechargeable batt generator.. some ppl uses it for camping..5 to 6hrs usage should be no problem..do a check first on your PC hp..smile.gif

 

MD,

 

mind telling me which home fix branch you saw that rechargeable batt generator? because i called home fix and they mentioned that they do not carry them. also for the rechargeable batt generator, i assume that you will need to charge it via the normal 13A socket and not using petrol before you can use it?

Bro..this is the one I am referring to..... http://www.xantrex.com/web/id/137/p/1/pt/5/product.asp

Hey, I am also interested. Heard that it is possible to buy an inverted to connect to the cigarette lighter socket. Anybody knows where to get this? Guess the best is still to get a external portable generator if it is affordable.

 

So many in Sim Lim Square. 400W ones, 500W ones, 1,000W etc.

 

But one potential problem is that when the engine is running, the bonnet is hot, cannot polish. Of course there are ways around this...

Check with them (IMM homefix) before but they said they do not have [:/] I think they don't know what they are selling, no product knowledge [mad]

Hi bro, is it in Sim Lim Tower or Sim Lim Square? Any idea how much it cost for the 400w or 500 W model? Any indication?

 

Thanks

I saw some shops in Sim Lim Square has it. I looked around but I don't need one, and don't have one.

 

Can't remember exact figure, kind of like about $200 plus minus.

 

There are a few shops at 3rd-5th floor you look around.

 

I've never used it, because I have a place with power point. Do you want to check whether anyone has actually used it or check with the shop and let them know how you intend to use it and see what they say?

 

My machine consumes lots of power, I need a big one and they cost a lot, which doesn't make sense anymore.
