Need inverter advice.

711416

{"text":"So my wife and I are huge gamers and we are also team drivers. Our boss won’t allow an inverter to be wired to the battery so I’m wondering if anyone can give me advice on how to run a Xbox one x and a 30” hd tv through the 12v cigarette lighter plugs. My thoughts are buying two 300w pure sine wave inverters and plugging them into separate 12v plug ins, and running tv on one and Xbox on the other. Will this work?","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

Enjoy it.\nI have an Xbox and flat-screen TV, and all the other creature comforts in here.\nI drive when I want to, take off whenever I feel like it and it's sometimes for weeks.\nJust because, for the most part, we live in our trucks, doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy our downtime.\nI drive nights (8 hours a night ) which gives me a lot more time off then most drivers.\nAnd I watch TV and play my games.\nAnd sometimes talk to you people.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"You can get a Duracell DRINV800 inverter with the 12v plug that will run both the TV and XBOX, they are about $100 but that would probably be the way to go","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"that will work but it has to be done wave and your power cord to your 12v source should be heavier then you average 12 power source and you want to add a inline fuse and maybe change your powersource fuse to a higher voltage I'd start with 5v if it holds you good if it blows go up","replyToPid":0}
