And on the hot wire run that switch of course aswell as a fuse on the wire even though the invererer already has one. I was wondering If i did the connect is it a good method and will my device connected to my invertor still stay on if i turn the car on and off, unlike the cigarette adapter switch. Any adivce would be great, if there a better way to do it so the inverter will constalnly remain on unless I turn if off plesae let me know ALso, I have a Pioneer TV(dash), 2 head rest Tv's, (Perhaps this inverter), I am getting a Tranny Cooler with the fan, and i have a remote start. Any electrical system Mods i should make to accomdate all of this. Is a Gel Battery (Optima) needed. I DO NOT HAVE ANY amps. ANY HELP Is welcomed thanks in advance.

If i ran my invertor wire to the battery would the inverter stay on during cranking if i left it on. fs: 18 wheels http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2427473402 WANTED: svt kit For poor college student

After that , connect the switch to the relay. This way the power doesnt go in the switch. Get a minimum 25 amps relay (25amps * 12volts = 300 watts) In case you want to add something else to the inverter. Inverters shut off at around 10 to 11 volts. When you start your car the battery goes down to about 7 volts. So I am wondeirng, will ym invertor stay on during cranking? fs: 18 wheels http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2427473402 WANTED: svt kit For poor college student
