Inverters and cars as emergency power sources
Dennis and Ray discuss using a 12-volt inverter from a car with a full fuel tank to provide AC power for essential devices during outages. They caution that a typical 16-amp to 25-amp inverter is safer, require the engine to run to keep the alternator charging, and note a day or more of idle-run could be wasted on fuel for short-term use.
