dieseldoc Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I need to wire an inverter into my service truck. I use it to charge my laptop, cordless tool batteries, etc. It is a 1000 watt inverter and I have 4 gauge cables. The inverter is a bit overkill but anyway. I was planning on going straight to the batteries but the style cable ends make it hard to hook a 4 gauge cable to it. Is there a better place to tap into battery power for this purpose? I plan to go through the firewall on the drivers side, because there is a grommet with hole already in it to run the cables out. As always your insights are welcome and appreciated.

eastendpowerstroke Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 with that size inverter I would only go to the battery. change the cable end if necessary to hook it to the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'd get a DT style battery with side and top posts. Put the inverter off the side posts, and the truck stuff off the top. And yeah, for that size of inverter, battery only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
