Yes at almost 34 iv been forced into a situation where I have to use this with no proper training from my parents. I used to tune everything out when I was a kid when it came to math conversions from units of volume and now I have a job where I have to know how to convert everything.

@@etimsam for an appliance that require a DC 12v supply, you can use the 12v directly without using any inverter, such as computer monitor and others, but if you need AC voltage ranging from 110v to 220v sine wave, then an inverter is a must have.
Are you kidding me, no better way to show how easy this is, then to have your kid do it! Great job young man, dad you should be very proud. My wife and I were considering Spending a bunch of money on a power station to run my gas furnace, but this is all we need because it’s going to be in the basement.

For Hurricane Laura, we had no electricity for 14 days. We ran 4 fans and lights off of a 2000/4000 power inverter I purchase from harbor freight for my son, grandsons, and me to use for camping in the woods off my tractor battery. At night I would run the tracker for about 4 hours and 2 hours during the day to keep the battery charged. With a 2000/4000 inverter, you can run around 16 amps. continuous as long as you have a way to keep the battery charged. Led lights are what you want to use.
Oh my gosh! Little dude, and dude, this is the best video I have come across with the best explanation and visual.

Excellent video I really like, both are great son and father 🥳 , can you please make a video of how to charge the same battery? I really appreciate that! I really need to do this project for my 86yrs old grandma in South America.
Thanks for the warm comments. How many devices it can run totally depends on the amps or wattage of whatever it is that you plan on running. Almost every device has a sticker stating its power requirements. It may say 110v 0.5a or amp. 110 x 0.5 = 55watts. This is just an example. Some stuff requires higher starting power such as a blender or an ac motor. You can always buy a bigger inverter than 600watts. In fact most people use 1500 watt inverter and that generally can run anything. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions.
@@R0V3R8T3 THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION, SO AN INVERTER WITH HIGHER WATTS, 600W, 1500W, 2000W,and ON HIGHER WATTS WILL BE MORE POWER TO RUN MULTIPLE APPLIANCES, OR ELECTRONICS ?

@@debfassbinder9283 no problem Deb. You should be fine with a 600 watt inverter if your sewing machine is like 100 watts or less like most Singer brand sewing machines. Not sure about the energy requirement for your machine however there should be a sticker with its specs. If you have trouble understating it you can read it off to me and I can confirm it for you. But i dont see why a 600 watt inverter wouldnt be able to.
@@debfassbinder9283 You can use a 12v battery charger. I have included a link for a 12v charger www.amazon.com/dp/B08G446ZQ9/ref=cm_sw_r_sm_apa_fabc_NY1Z9ATPF45AF2WM4VA2
I don't have the Alligator clips, but I have the red and black wires with terminals at each end to connect from the inverter to the battery. Anything important I need to know before I try attaching them?
Would this inverter power a 175 watt stereo receiver?? I'm trying to figure how for a bike trailer. Also cool to see your son hands on learning and doing things. 💪
Sorry for the super late reply. Not sure how did I miss your comment. Yes it will run anything upto 600 watt drawn continuously and it offers upto 1000 watt of starting power required for some AC motors. You can get away with something like a 300 watt dc to ac inverter. Hope that helps and answers your question
THANK YOUUUUU for this video. I've watched a gizillion videos to see HOW to connect the inverter and battery for my HOME and not camping or living off the grid. Just want it for back up and power outages for storms like we had in Texas a couple weeks ago, just to keep cell phones and tablets charged. Thank you so much. This was very simple.
Thank you so much. I wrote down the instructions. I hope the inverter is not expensive. In an emergency, is there an alternative for the inverter? I saw a movie in which the criminals were using car batteries for power in a house. These are simple survival skills that everyone can and should be teaching their children. Knowledge that can make them valuable to society as well as their families 👍👍. Great job!
Just one 12 volt battery and an inverter, no matter the quality and efficiency of the inverter will run an entire home. Even if you wanted to run a full size fridge it will only do so for 3-8, maybe 10 hours. A stand alone battery with nothing replenishing it, whether that's an alternator or solar won't sustain most of the things you would use in your home. If you had an inverter large enough (at least 1,000 watt) and wanted to run a microwave you'll drain it fast. A generator is the best alternative for any length of time. A small 2,000 watt inverter generator can run for hours on a gallon of fuel and power just about anything in your home IF you run them one at a time with the exception of water heaters, central HVAC systems and clothes driers. A little inverter generator will run a fridge and a deep freeze or a fridge, TV and a couple lights. It just depends on your power needs. A large 12 volt battery is excellent if you want to have one on standby to charge phones. I have one I keep on a maintainer charger so it's always charged and when the power goes off you can plug up a wire with a 12 volt (cigarette lighter) socket and use your car charger and keep phones charged. You can charge several phones for several days that way without needing a re-charge. If you do run ot down just take it out to your vehicle and run jumper cables to the battery from your car battery as you leave the car idling for an hour or so and then you have a fresh battery to charge phones and devices for several more days. I have a 12 volt 22" LED TV I use in a tent with a deep cycle battery out of my boat and it will run that TV all weekend and keep our phones charged. A little LED 12 volt TV will only draw about 2-3 amps so it will last a good while.
@@jbrannon509 I am planning on getting my son and myself a pure sine inverter. They're not expensive. Just wondering how long the battery might last. Also a quieter alternative than a gas generator.
@@vadamsable It just depends on what kind and how many batteries and what you plan to run with the inverter. For instance, a small TV may run for hours but a microwave not so long. Do you know what you plan to power the most?
@@jbrannon509 Mainly the fridge. For my perishable foods like milk or meat. I plan to go off grid soon if I can. Most work you can do during daylight hours (candles or lamps for night), cooking can be done on a convection propane heater or wood burning stove. I can do with minimal media. Cellphone or tablet for information a few hours each day. Thank you for responding Jason. I would use the inverter/battery on and off for the fridge to keep the foods cooled🤔.
@@vadamsable If you had multiple batteries, maybe 4 deep cycles and an efficient quality inverter you could run a fridge for a day probabaly. I'd invest in some solar and a solar power manager though. 3 or 4 100 watt panels would keep the batteries charged. Honestly, I'd look into a RV propane refrigerator. You can run a propane fridge for days and days on just a smaller 20 pound grill size propane tank!
Genuine question: I want to use my shed for hobby crafting. My shed has no electricity, can I but an inverter and battery such as a car battery keep this in the shed and run a cricut( cutting printer type machine) and a surface pro 5 ? I am purchasing rechargeable lamps so I can bring them into the house and recharge. I do think that those are the only two things and maybe just maybe a fan for summer weather. Please help! I just can’t seem to wrap my head around the numbers and units of measurement revolving electricity and I know that if I hook up incorrectly I can damage my computer and my Cricut machine which I don’t have the money to replace should this happen . Running power cords is not currently an option. Thank you to anyone who helps!
Sure I can help with that. First we need to determine how much electricity your Cricut printer consumes. Surface pro 5 barely takes any power. A 600 watt inverter as shown in this video should be sufficient to run everything in your shed however once we figure out how much power your printer takes. Also keep in mind that car batteries are pretty heavy and I'm not sure how far your shed is from your main house as carrying it maybe a hassle. You could use Lithium batteries as they are lighter but keep in mind they cost 3 times as much as the regular batteries that go in your car. If carrying a heavy battery once in a while to it's charging station is not an issue go for it. I use a 12v 8amp charger to charge these batteries when needed and rest assured that these new pure sinewave inverters have built in protection against reverse polarity, over load protection, and several other protections. It will not harm your surface pro, cricut or any other sensitive electric device that's plugged into your power inverter. Just be sure that you get a pure sinewave inverter as they offer all of these features. If you have any questions feel free to hit me back or DM me on Instagram
@@R0V3R8T3thanks for the info . May I ask , how do you recharge the battery ? Does the inverter also allow you to plug the battery into a wall socket and send electricity in the other direction? Last question , are there smaller lighter car batteries to use for a setup like this ? I want to build a portable power station to run power tools with for crafting in the park nearby . Thanks !!
I have a question please. Do you have to have an inverter in order to convert an appliance from public electric supply to battery operated, or do can you connect the device directly to the battery?
If you have a laptop, you are MUCH better off using a car adapter and running it directly off of the battery. You aren't going to get much run-time with most desktop PCs because they just use too much power. An absolute minimum of 100 watts for monitor and PC. Most use 200 or more. A laptop might use between 20 and 30.
That depends on the load, efficiency of the inverter, as well as the battery capacity. In this video you see a 100ah (amps per hour) capacity battery. 100 amps x 12v= 1200watts total capacity in this case. When you connect an inverter to make 110-115v using your 12v battery depending on your inverter you will see some where around 90 to 95 efficiency. Then you have to take in account that batteries can not be drained all the way or you will kill them and wont be able to recharge them. You asked how do i charge this battery. There are several different ways to do that. If you have access to power you can charge it with a 12v battery charger like i do. Its an 8amp an hour smart battery charger and maintainer by Schumacher and when i need to go on a camping trip i can take just the battery and the inverter with me. My load generally is very low. I mean a small table fan and few led bulbs so it serves the purpose well. I have used a small generator in the past to keep the battery topped off during the day for couple of hours on a camping trip while using using load of fans and other electronics and that way at quiet hours of the camp grounds at night you are not disturbing anyone with the obnoxious generator noise lol. You could also get a 50 or 100 watt solar panel and a charge controller combo for about 120 that will make you completely off grid and keep the batteries charged. Depending on your load you may need more solar panels but for what i use it for one panel would be enough. What are you looking this setup for?
@@firstladypresident no you could probably even run a small window ac unit with it. Your inverter can handle it. A 19 inch tv depending on whether its a lcd or the old school one shouldnt take more than a 100 watt. The question is what is your battery size? What type of battery it is? Whether its agm deep cycle or some other. I have run a 42 inch lcd in my camper with my 650watt inverter while chargibg laptop and phones.
@@firstladypresident you might want to read the specs on your tv and they should be posted behind your tv. It should state how many amps is your tv at 110 or 120v. Usually it would say something like 110v x .95a
Neat video! Kid is smarter than me! :) :) ... I wonder how long the car battery will run a small laptop such as a dell xps and LCD computer monitor for? Thinking about doing a set up like this in the event of a power outage. I think a trickle charger will work good right to recharge the battery? What can I get to monitor how much power the battery have left during usage? Thanks again!
Well, you can use your car, solar panels, small wind turbines, a car alternator hooked up to bike and etc. You can go creative finding alternative power sources. For example I personally used to connecting some extra batteries to my tractor, so it could charge them while working in fields.
You can buy it from aliexpress as you are in Italy and they ship world wide. I use a 12v charger that plugs into the wall outlet but as someone else mentioned you can use solar or any other charger
These deep cycle cheap walmart batteries do not like to be deeply discharged. You would be better off buying high capacity good quality either NIMH D cells (which are about 12Wh each) or lithium and then running your laptop or tablet on DC. Use 22 D cell batteries in series twice (11 cells each) so that you have 2 14.4V batteries in parallel. With 10kmaH cells, you will basically have 264 watt hours. They can be deeply discharged hundreds of times. Fairly cheap and safe. Lithium Ion cells will be expensive and probably dangerous.

When you connect an inverter to make 110-115v using your 12v battery depending on your inverter you will see some where around 90 to 95 efficiency. Then you have to take in account that batteries can not be drained all the way or you will kill them and wont be able to recharge them. You asked how do i charge this battery. There are several different ways to do that. If you have access to power you can charge it with a 12v battery charger like i do. Its an 8amp an hour smart battery charger and maintainer by Schumacher and when i need to go on a camping trip i can take just the battery and the inverter with me. My load generally is very low. I mean a small table fan and few led bulbs so it serves the purpose well. I have used a small generator in the past to keep the battery topped off during the day for couple of hours on a camping trip while using using load of fans and other electronics and that way at quiet hours of the camp grounds at night you are not disturbing anyone with the obnoxious generator noise lol. You could also get a 50 or 100 watt solar panel and a charge controller combo for about 120 that will make you completely off grid and keep the batteries charged. Depending on your load you may need more solar panels but for what i use it for one panel would be enough. What are you looking this setup for?
@@R0V3R8T3 I'm using a 750watt invertor with 800amp reserve capacity 110...trying to hook up a small 19" tv an maybe a small fan...is that to much?
@@firstladypresident no you could probably even run a small window ac unit with it. Your inverter can handle it. A 19 inch tv depending on whether its a lcd or the old school one shouldnt take more than a 100 watt. The question is what is your battery size? What type of battery it is? Whether its agm deep cycle or some other. I have run a 42 inch lcd in my camper with my 650watt inverter while chargibg laptop and phones.
@@firstladypresident you might want to read the specs on your tv and they should be posted behind your tv. It should state how many amps is your tv at 110 or 120v. Usually it would say something like 110v x .95a
@@R0V3R8T3 the TV is 120v an it a led tv my battery is a duralast deep cycle top post 800 amp
Neat video! Kid is smarter than me! :) :) ... I wonder how long the car battery will run a small laptop such as a dell xps and LCD computer monitor for? Thinking about doing a set up like this in the event of a power outage. I think a trickle charger will work good right to recharge the battery? What can I get to monitor how much power the battery have left during usage? Thanks again!
Your comment is very much appreciated. Thanks 😊
Sir iam from tarikere...shel we connect two battery with 150ah and 180ah new battery to Microtek xp1400 inverter in parallel???
How long would a battery run a 700 watt inverter ?
Can I plug my 15 watt Marshall through this set up?
Sure you can
Can you give me the link to those things
Lol so easy a kid can do it! Great parenting
Thanks.
That's cool how your son can do this video
I can only imagine how much will I save during a hurricane using this instead of a generator
Where can I buy the power inventor,I am in Italy?
Also how do you recharge the car battery when it runs out?
Well, you can use your car, solar panels, small wind turbines, a car alternator hooked up to bike and etc. You can go creative finding alternative power sources. For example I personally used to connecting some extra batteries to my tractor, so it could charge them while working in fields.
You can buy it from aliexpress as you are in Italy and they ship world wide. I use a 12v charger that plugs into the wall outlet but as someone else mentioned you can use solar or any other charger
@@R0V3R8T3can you tell me about the 12 volt charger ? What exactly do I need to know in order to recharge the battery from a wall outlet ? Thanks !
These deep cycle cheap walmart batteries do not like to be deeply discharged. You would be better off buying high capacity good quality either NIMH D cells (which are about 12Wh each) or lithium and then running your laptop or tablet on DC.
Use 22 D cell batteries in series twice (11 cells each) so that you have 2 14.4V batteries in parallel. With 10kmaH cells, you will basically have 264 watt hours. They can be deeply discharged hundreds of times. Fairly cheap and safe. Lithium Ion cells will be expensive and probably dangerous.
Can this run power tools?
Can I use this method to power a 450 watt grow light? I’m intrigued
Of course you can. Just as long as you use an inverter thats greater than 450 watts. How do you plan on keeping the battery charged? Solar?
good teacher
I need a video on how long you can keep that fan on before the battery dies. Anyone know roughly
SO HOW DO YOU POWER EVERYTHING OFF ?
DO YOU REMOVE THE TERMINALS?
DO YOU POWER IT OFF BY INVERTER
Inverters generally have an On/OFF switch which basically turns off the inverter and everything that's plugged in it.
good dad!
Hey would you mind if I shared this video on a blog post about how easy it is to use power inverters? Giving credit to your channel for a great video?
Yes sure
@@R0V3R8T3 Thanks a lot. I'll tell people to visit your channel. Thanks again. Keep up the good parenting. Take care.
Will use to ventilate the cottage
Clever boy❤
nice
